Bristol City will host Leicester City with the former vying to shake off their recent set of results and the latter looking to regain the top spot at the summit of the EFL Championship.
Bristol City were once climbing up the ladder in the league table but recent results have seen them fall off the tracks as they sit in the 14th spot in the table and are hoping to get their campaign back on track with a handful of fixtures left before the curtains are drawn on this season.
Leicester have fallen off the tracks recently as they have lost thrice in their previous five matches giving Leeds United the perfect opportunity to leapfrog them. The Foxes boast of a game in hand over their former Premier League rivals as they'll be looking to seal the top spot once again after their trip to Bristol.
