Championship 
Ashton gate is the venue for a mid-table Championship clash on Sunday afternoon as Bristol City are set to host Norwich City in a game that's set to kick off at 13:30.
After a mixed start to their campaign, Bristol currently find themselves in 12th place in the Championship table, having gained 25 points from their 18 league games so far this season. This has come following 7 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats.
Bristol featured in midweek Championship action as they were narrowly defeated by Southampton. Kyle Walker-Peters scored the game's only goal with a stunning strike from the edge of the box two minutes into the second half. Bristol City pushed for an equaliser, but Southampton defended resolutely and were able to see out the game to secure all three points
Norwich City currently find themselves in 14th place in the table, after picking up 23 points so far this season. A win this weekend would see Norwich leapfrog Bristol in the table and enter the top half of the table.
The Canaries were in action on Tuesday as they let a two goal lead slip against Watford. Norwich raced into an early lead through Danny Batth's header in the third minute, before Hwang Ui-jo doubled their advantage with a stunning long-range strike from 25 yards just nine minutes later.
Watford looked shell-shocked, but they responded with two goals in quick succession before half-time to turn the game on its head. The Hornets continued to pose a threat on the counter-attack, and they finally found the winner in the 77th minute thanks to Yaser Asprilla.
The fixture of Bristol City vs Norwich has a long and storied history, with the two sides first having met in 1909 in the FA Cup. In total, these two sides have met on 77 occasions, with Norwich having won 38, Bristol having won 21 and there having been 18 draws.
Norwich have dominated this fixture’s recent history and have only lost one of the last 13 meetings between these two sides. These sides last came head-to-head at the beginning of this campaign when they met in the second round of the League Cup where Norwich recorded a slender 1-0 victory.
These sides are evenly matched at the bookies ahead of Sunday’s game, however, it is Bristol who are narrowly favoured and are currently priced @ 11/8, whilst an away win for Norwich is @ 15/8 and a draw is @ 5/2.
We are backing over 3.5 goals because both of these sides have been in impressive goalscoring form heading into this match. Four of Norwich’s last five league outings have resulted in more than 3.5 goals, whilst Bristol were involved in a 5-goal thriller last Saturday.
