• Bristol City, hoping to secure a sixth straight season in the Championship, are one place and four points above the relegation zone.
• The Robins have won two and drawn three of their last five, and Derek McInnes will be hoping to inspire his side to a second six-game unbeaten sequence since his arrival in October.
• Their only victories against top-eight clubs were home and away to Southampton.
West Ham United
• West Ham are in third place, three points behind Southampton, with Leicester to visit and Hull to host after this. They are chasing a 600th victory in second-level league football.
• The Hammers have not made an immediate return to the top flight since 1993, but showed their intent with a 6-0 home victory over Brighton at the weekend. They have scored 19 goals in six games, but have hit the back of the net in each of the last 11.
• The club with the best away record in the division are looking to extend their club record haul of victories on the road to 13 with a third in succession. That would also take the longest current unbeaten sequence away from home in the Championship to seven games.
• Ricardo Vaz Te has scored eight goals in five games.
