10:01 GMT 16 February
Bristol City and Wrexham will face each other harbouring hopes of regaining a place in the play-off positions when they meet at Ashton Gate on Tuesday (19:45 GMT).
Both sides are in prime position to oust current sixth place holders Derby County but will need to take a win to do so.
This is the first time Bristol City are hosting Wrexham in a league match since April 2005, and a 1-0 win for the Robins in League One.
Following their 2-0 win in November, Wrexham are looking to complete the league double over Bristol City in the Football League for the third time (also 1962-63 and 1980-81).
Bristol City lost 5-0 against Derby in their last home league game. They last lost consecutive league matches at Ashton Gate in November 2024, while they last did so without scoring in March 2024.
Wrexham have won their last four away league games, having been winless in their previous eight on the road (D5 L3). They last won five in a row in the same Football League campaign in April/May 2003 in the fourth tier.
Bristol City forward Emil Riis' next goal will be his 50th in the Championship. He would be the first Danish player to reach this milestone in the EFL (Championship, League One, League Two) since the 2004 rebrand.

Josh Windass was pleased to produce a "special" night for Wrexham fans as they overcame Ipswich Town to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Windass netted the only goal of the contest as Phil Parkinson's men reached the last-16 of the competition for the first time in 29 years.
"Our main focus is the league but these nights are nice to win and get through," Windass said.
"The fans are the most important people at any club, and if they can have nights like this then it's special for them."
Windass' 34th minute strike against the Tractor Boys was the forward's ninth goal of the campaign across all competitions.
It comes on the back of what has been a testing spell for the summer signing - who has been playing through an injury.
"It's been frustrating. The last two months or so, I was injured quite a bit," added the 32-year-old.
"I was playing through injury quite a lot, so it was frustrating not being able to play my best stuff. When you're playing through knocks and stuff, it's difficult.
"We played a lot over Christmas, we won a lot of games, I still scored a lot of goals.
"Playing through injury was a bit difficult, but I'm fine now."

Ipswich Town have faced Welsh opposition four times in the FA Cup, progressing from three of those; their 2-1 defeat vs Wrexham in January 1995 the only exception.

Ipswich have been eliminated from 10 of their past 12 FA Cup fourth round ties, though did win at this stage last season when they defeated Coventry City 4-1 away from home.
Wrexham are unbeaten across their past nine home FA Cup proper ties (W5 D4), since a 2-1 defeat to Oxford United in the second round in December 2013. Each of the Welsh side's last five home games in the competition have seen them score 3+ goals.

'Everything to play for' - Wrexham boss Parkinsonpublished at 10:52 GMT 10 February

Phil Parkinson feels Wrexham still have "everything to play for" despite seeing their play-off hopes take a dent with a 2-0 loss to Millwall.
The Red Dragons remain sixth in the Championship following their defeat by the Lions at Stok Cae Ras last time out.
But with a top-six place still firmly within their sights and an FA Cup fourth-round contest against Ipswich Town to come on Friday night, Parkinson says there is still plenty at stake for his side over the coming months.
"Yes, it's everything to play for," said Parkinson.
"It never feels like that when you've lost but I think when we get up tomorrow, a third of the season to go, we're in a strong position."
Wrexham's loss to Millwall saw Parkinson's men fail to score for the first time in 16 home league fixtures this season.
Despite the defeat, Dom Hyam feels Wrexham can be pleased with the "bigger picture" as they remain in the mix for the play-offs.
"It's a long old season, we're in a good position and we've done well up to this point," said the defender.
"We want to win every game, but it's not always like that. You're going to get some bad luck and some dips in performances.
"But as a group we need to stay calm, refocus and go again. That's the bigger picture. We need to see how far we've come, draw a line under it (the Millwall loss) and put in a performance next time."
