Bristol City have recorded 12 Championship wins this term and their last success came against automatic promotion chasing Southampton last month. But after that, the Robins lost four successive games against the likes of Queens Park Rangers, Sheffield Wednesday, Cardiff City and Ipswich. On Tuesday, Liam Manning’s side gave a good account of themselves versus second-placed Tractor Boys, but lost the match despite taking the lead twice through Anis Mehmeti and Tommy Conway. Leif Davis’ 89th-minute winner handed Bristol City their 16th second tier defeat of the campaign.
Swansea, on the other hand, are heading into the match on the back of a three game unbeaten run, including back-to-back 2-1 wins over Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers. Luke Williams’ side shared the spoils with Watford on Wednesday night despite taking the lead through Ryan Andrews’ own goal inside the opening 18 minutes at Vicarage Road. The Swans have now taken seven points from a possible nine on the road, and they boast the eighth-best away-record in the division, accumulation 23 points from 18 outings.
Bristol City probable starting lineup: O’Leary, McCrorie, Vyner, Dickie, Pring, Williams, Gardner-Hickman, Cornick, Knight, Sykes, Conway
Swansea City probable starting lineup: Rushworth, Darling, Cabango, Wood, Tymon, Fulton, Grimes, Ronald, Paterson, Placheta, Yates
