Bristol City
- Bristol City are without a win in their last 5 Championship matches (D1, L4).
- Roy Hodgson has taken over the reins at Bristol City in a bid to steady the ship as they continue to flounder towards the bottom three, but the Robins have lost four and drawn one of their last five games.
- Bristol City currently occupy 16th position in the Championship 2025/2026 table with 51 points from 39 games, just one more point than 17th placed Sheffield United who will visit Ashton Gate on Monday evening.
Sheffield United
- Sheffield United have a marginally superior away record and are in slightly better form heading into this game (W1, D2, L2).
- Sheffield United have scored 24 goals away from home in their 20 matches (W7, D2, L11) and should capitalize on City’s defensive issues and home struggles.
Head-to-Head
- The last time these two sides met in the Championship 2025/2026 was seven months ago, with Bristol City taking all three points in a commanding 4-1 victory away from home.
- However, the Blades have won the other two H2H clashes in this season’s Championship 2025/2026 campaign (W2, D0, L1).
