Bristol City are ready to welcome Walsall to Ashton Gate on Friday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 15 and lost only 6 of the 27 games.
The previous match played between the two at Ashton Gate was more than three years back, in March 2001, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a League Division Two match.
