Tony Mowbray's Baggies travel down the M5 to take on Bristol City at Ashton Gate in the Sky Bet Championship on Tuesday night (ko 7.45pm).

Albion suffered a frustrating 1-0 defeat at home to Sunderland despite dominating proceedings at The Hawthorns on Saturday lunchtime.

The Robins continued their play-off push via a 2-1 victory over Watford over the weekend, with Ross McCrorie and Nahki Wells both getting on the scoresheet.

Mikey Johnston's first-half brace was enough for the Baggies to secure three points in the reverse fixture three days before Christmas.

The hosts

Bristol City have enjoyed a good season and are very much in the play-off picture heading into the final six matches of the 2024/25 Sky Bet Championship campaign.

The Robins, who along with QPR and Preston North End have spent the longest time in the second tier of English football (10 terms), have their sights set on securing a shot at promotion to the Premier League for the very first time. 

Tuesday's hosts last graced the top division in 1979/80, but their supporters are hoping this just might be the year that all changes.

Their hard-fought victory over the Hornets over the weekend lifted them into the top six, three points ahead of the Albion.

They'll be hoping to further strengthen their foothold in the play-off spots with a result at Ashton Gate on Tuesday night, while Albion will know a win would see them leapfrog the Robins and regain their place in the top six.
