Bristol City preview: Proving tough to beat

The Robins have gone six games without defeat but only two of those results have ended in victory.

Bristol City did well to come from two goals down away at Stoke in midweek as veteran forward Nahki Wells scored twice in the second half to help his team secure a 2-2 draw.

Cameron Pring, Sam Bell, Ayman Benarous, Robert Dickie and Rob Atkinson won't be available for the Leeds game due to injury.

Predicted lineup: O’Leary (GK), McCrorie, Vyner, Tanner, McNally, Sykes, Williams, Bird, Mehmeti, Knight & Wells

Leeds preview: Won four of last six

Leeds extended their unbeaten run in the Championship to six games with a 2-1 home win against Watford on Tuesday night.

Two goals inside the opening seven minutes from Largie Ramazani and Brenden Aaronson handed Leeds the perfect start and although Watford pulled a goal back early in the second half, the hosts held firm to secure another three points.

Midfielder Ilia Gruev and defenders Ethan Ampadu and Maximilian Wober could be joined on the sidelines by Largie Ramazani after the forward was taken off after just 14 minutes of the Watford game.

Predicted lineup: Meslier (GK), Firpo, Rodon, Struijk, Bogle, Rothwell, Tanaka, Aaronson, Piroe, Solomon & Gnonto

Player to watch: Wilfried Gnonto

Wilfried Gnonto has been a key player for Daniel Farkes' side and their attempts to earn automatic promotion back to the Premier League.

Leeds missed out last season but Gnonto played a big role in their promotion push, scoring eight league goals in 39 appearances and the young Italian winger has chipped in with two goals and four assists in 11 starts of the 2024/25 campaign.

Leeds' Italian winger has been in good form of late

We're backing Gnonto to cause the Bristol City defence plenty of issues with his pass and movement on Saturday and we expect the former Zurich man to help guide his team to all three points.
