Bolton vs Bristol City: Live stream, TV channel, kick-off time and team news for Championship fixture

Robins are looking to rebuild their promotion challenge against Bolton, after a run of bad results

BRISTOL CITY are looking to build on their recent victory over Queens Park Rangers, after suffering a run of four games without a win in the Championship.

The Robins had been challenging for top spot, but their bad form saw their slip down the table, and they will now be hoping a visit to Bolton is just what they need to kick start their season again.

The Wanderers are at the other end of the spectrum, needing points to ensure they do not return to League One after just a single season in the second tier.

Bolton sit just one point above the relegation places, having lost 14 times already this season.

They could have been further afield of the drop zone, but a late equaliser in their last match against Ipswich Town saw them continue a run of just four wins in 12 matches.

Bristol City will be without centre-back Nathan Baker after he was sent off against QPR at the weekend.

The Robins are still missing three players through injury, with right-back Eros Pisano and Jens Hegeler last playing in October, while Callum O'Dowda is set to recover from his ankle problem in the coming weeks.
