Bristol City pack their bags to visit Nottingham Forest at City Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Robins will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 21 and win only 4 of the 39 games.
The previous match played between the two at City Ground was within the last three years, in November 2006, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in an (Associate Members) match.
