Failing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Blackburn Rovers will have left the Bristol City squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Blackburn Rovers' tally of 13 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Liam Manning will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
It's been mixed fortunes for Bristol City at Ashton Gate Stadium recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.

Having taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 home win over Leeds United in their last league game, Sunderland will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 38%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Leeds United had 12 shots on goal with 4 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Sunderland, Jack Clarke will be looking to add more goals against Bristol City in this match.
