Swansea City play host to Bristol City at the Swansea.com Stadium in round seven of the EFL Championship on Sunday. The Swans will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors, having lost both home and away meetings between the sides last season.
Swansea City picked up consecutive league wins for the first time since April as they edged out Coventry City 2-1 at the Coventry Building Society Arena last Saturday.
This followed a 1-0 home victory over Norwich City on September 14, which saw their run of three straight games without a win across all competitions come to an end.
With 10 points from the opening six games, the Swans are currently seventh in the Championship table but could move into fourth place with all three points this weekend.
Bristol City, on the other hand, turned in a resilient team display last weekend when they fought back from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over Oxford United at the Ashton Gate Stadium.
Before that, the Robins were on a three-game winless run, playing out a 1-1 draw with Coventry City on August 24 before losing successive games against Derby County and Blackburn Rovers.
Bristol City have picked up eight points from the first 18 available to sit 13th in the Championship standings, level on points with Middlesbrough and Norwich City.
