Liam Manning's side welcome Danny Röhl's Sheffield Wednesday to BS3
October's run of fixtures begins with a home clash against Sheffield Wednesday. It's been a mixed - if slightly disappointing - start to the season for The Robins and head coach Liam Manning will be hoping to prove to the Ashton Gate faithful that his side can back up the ambition shown by the club in the transfer market this summer.
The last time the two teams met, City fell to defeat at Hillsborough as Ike Ugbo struck either side of a Jason Knight strike to seal the result in the first half, with Di'Shon Bernard seeing red in the second.
History of Bristol City:
Established in 1894, Bristol City FC have a storied history in English football. The club, based in South Bristol, achieved prominence in the early 20th century, earning promotion to the top flight in 1906 and reaching the FA Cup final in 1909. In the 1980s, Bristol City faced financial challenges but rebounded, and are now a well-established second division side.
A defining moment in the club’s modern history came in 2017 when the team, then competing in the EFL Championship, secured a historic 2-1 victory over Manchester United in the EFL Cup quarterfinals. This win at Ashton Gate Stadium marked a standout achievement for the club.
Seen by many as England’s largest club to have never achieved top-flight football, Bristol City's home matches are played at Ashton Gate. Currently plying their trade in the EFL Championship, The Robins are managed by Liam Manning.
