Recent respective form guides
Burnley need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Clarets have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Bristol City's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Robins have hit 5 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Burnley's 34 points from 24 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Bristol City are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 41 points from 24 games.
