Blues travel to Ashton Gate knowing that a win will leave them just three points behind the hosts who currently occupy sixth spot.
Build Up
Bristol City have been in fine form of late. Lee Johnson’s men have won seven out of their last eight league games. This form has seen The Robins rocket up the ladder and they now find themselves in the play-off spots.
Blues are searching for their first win in three after two underwhelming results at St. Andrews. Che Adams was once again the hero on Saturday after his two goals secured a point, Adams scored the winner the last time Blues triumphed at Ashton Gate on the final day of the 2016/2017 season.
Opposition Opinion

Pre-match Quotes
Lee Johnson:
For us, we continue our drive, we continue that performance level against a good side, we respect all our opponents but even more so Birmingham with the quality they have got and the strength they have got in individual duels.
If you switch off against a side like Birmingham you can guarantee they will capitalise. If you want to be weak in body and mind they will capitalise.
Garry Monk:
It’s another huge test for us, but they’re all tests now. This stage of the season is vital for every single team. This period of games up to the end of the season now tends to be what most people remember.
Everyone is playing for something. But I think you can see our determination and we want to go into each game and give our best. If we can do that then I think everyone can live with whatever may be. But we’re a fighting team.
