Prediction: 2-1
Bristol City
All eyes will be on the Hawthorns when WBA and Bristol City face each other in the Championship derby. The Baggies are eyeing a quick return to the Premier League, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. West Brom have been producing much better displays at home than on the travels this season and seeing that they rolled over QPR 7-1 last month, it is no surprise they are considered favourites to win Tuesday’s football match. A man to watch in the home side will be pacey winger Phillips, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders. Bristol City have been producing scintillating showings of late. The Robins are on a four-match winning run ahead of the trip to West Bromwich, but we believe that the Baggies, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home, are going to put an end to Bristol City’s winning run.

Highlighted Player (Oliver Burke):
A product of the Nottingham Forest football academy, Oliver Burke made his domestic debut in 2014, when he was only 17 years of age. Born in Kirkcaldy, Oliver Burke is the captain of Scotland Under-21 side who’s faced plenty of criticism ever since leaving the Championship side. Having left Forest for Red Bull Leipzig in 2016 in a £13 million deal Oliver Burke became the most expensive Scottish player in history, whereas his hit the record book all over again the very next year when West Bromwich Albion saved him from a German misery in a £15 million deal. Burke was regularly praised for his physical ability during his time in the Bundesliga, but Leipzig coaching staff had plenty of tactical questions hanging over his head. A precocious talent who had only scraped the surface of his own potential, Burke is looking to get his career back on track. Despite being only 21 years of age, Burke already has 5 senior appearances for Scotland under his belt.
Highlighted Team (Bristol City):
Bristol City are one of the two famous clubs from the city of Bristol. Formed in 1894 the Robins mostly participated in English lower leagues and they have never played in the Premier League. Bristol City’s bitterest rivals are Bristol Rovers and it has to be noted that two teams first met in 1897. Bristol City have outplayed their local rivals on 43 occasions in the Bristol Derby. Cardiff City are regarded as Bristol City’s bitter rivals as well. The Robins play their home games at Ashton Gate, the stadium that was opened in 1887. Bristol City were semi-finalists of the League Cup two times (1970/1971, 1988/1989), with the team making it to the FA Cup final in 1909. The Robins faced Manchester United in the title game, but they failed to upset the English giants in the Crystal Palace clash. It is well known that Bristol City footballers wear red shirts and blue shorts.
