Pick of the stats: Bristol City v Norwich City
Both these sides are now 10 points off the play-offs with only goal difference separating them ahead of their meeting on Saturday (12:30 BST).
Bristol City, in 10th place, missed their chance to leapfrog ninth-placed Norwich after their stalemate at QPR last time out, but will get the chance to do so again with a win.
Norwich will be licking their wounds after suffering a 2-0 home defeat by their East Anglian rivals Ipswich last Saturday which saw a chance of a play-off finish move further away.

- Bristol City are unbeaten in their three Championship games under Roy Hodgson (W2 D1), keeping a clean sheet in the last two. They last had a longer run of league clean sheets in March/April 2024 (4).
