Bristol City prepare to entertain Colchester United at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 10 and lost only 4 of the 17 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate was less than a year ago, in January 2004, the Robins carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division Two match.
