Bristol City prepare to entertain Preston North End at Ashton Gate Stadium at tea-time on Saturday, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 20 and lost only 4 of the 35 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate Stadium was less than a year ago, in May 2008, with Bristol City running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Championship match.
