BRISTOL CITY
- Bristol City lie above Blackburn in seventh place and can move into the top six with victory here, combined with Preston failing to win at Luton Town.
- The suspension to the season will have given Lee Johnson’s side a chance to recharge their batteries at an ideal time, with the Robins having failed to win their last five Championship matches.
- Preparations for this match have been hit by an individual at the club positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, although it has not been revealed whether it is a player or staff member and Johnson claims he has a fully-fit squad to choose from.
THE PREDICTION
Both these teams have plenty to play for going into the restart with each gunning for a play-off place but the two sides had been struggling form-wise shortly before the stoppage. This is set up to be a cautious encounter with both sides desperate not to lose, so a draw could be on the cards.
