With three wins from their last five, City have found some form in 2020 and are, once again, in the running for promotion to English football's top division. 

 

Currently just three points off third-placed Fulham, and six points from Leeds in second, Lee Johnson's side will be expecting to push for a play-off place this season.

 

This weekend's visitors West Brom, currently four points clear at the top of the league, present a stern challenge. A win would give The Robins a huge boost going into the final stages of the 2019/20 campaign.

Off the back of two consecutive league wins against Gloucester and Northampton, the Bears will be going into this one expecting to pick up points against struggling Worcester.

 

Pat Lam's side have climbed to fourth in the table, level on points with third-placed Sale, and need to maintain focus after the coach demanded higher standards of his players following their most recent win.
