Footymad preview History of the Bristol City v Leeds United fixture

Bristol City prepare to entertain Leeds United at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 6 of the 14 previous games, with the Robins winning just 3.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate was less than a year ago, in February 2012, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Championship match.
