Live: Stoke City v Bristol City
Posted: Sunday, September 20th 2020
Preview: Wigan Athletic
Sunday, October 27th 2019
City return to Sky Bet Championship action against Paul Cook's Wigan Athletic this Sunday (1.30pm KO).
It's a second match at Ashton Gate in four days and the Robins are looking to continue their good home form following Wednesday night's dramatic victory over Charlton Athletic.
They could make it three home wins in a row after Josh Brownhill smashed in his 98th-minute winner to secure the 2-1 victory over the Addicks in midweek, a result which lifted the Robins up to fourth in the Championship standings.
City have not lost in BS3 since the opening day of the season (W3, D2) as they go up against an inconsistent Wigan team which has picked up one point on the road this season.

Word from the camp
MEMORABLE FIXTURE
Bristol City 2-1 Wigan
Saturday, August 6th 2016
Sky Bet Championship
Scorer: Tammy Abraham 81, Bobby Reid 90
Att: 17,635
A dramatic late turnaround clinched a memorable victory on the opening day of the season at the expense of the Sky Bet League One champions.
A double substitution from Lee Johnson midway through the second half was the catalyst, as debut hero Tammy Abraham headed City level with nine minutes to go, before Bobby Reid redirected Gary O’Neil’s shot past Adam Bogdan for the winner.
Alex Gilbey’s expertly-taken first-half opener threatened to spoil the party as City played in front of a four-sided Ashton Gate in competitive action for the first time in two years, including the then newly-named Lansdown Stand.
Competitive debuts were handed to summer signings Hordur Magnusson, Josh Brownhill and Callum O’Dowda along with O’Neil, who captained the side that day.
