History of the Bristol City v Tranmere Rovers fixture

Bristol City prepare to entertain Tranmere Rovers at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 8 and lost only 3 of the 15 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ashton Gate was less than a year ago, in November 2004, as they swept to an impressive 4-0 win in a League One match.
