Both Bristol City and Charlton Athletic had much to celebrate after their opening Championship games as they prepare to meet at Ashton Gate on Saturday (15:00 BST).
The Robins began their campaign with a stunning 4-1 victory at Sheffield United and will hope to bring the party to their first home game of the season.
Meanwhile, promoted Charlton began life in the Championship with a 1-0 win over Watford.
Bristol City beat Charlton Athletic 2-1 the last time this exact fixture was played in October 2019 and will be looking for successive victories over the Addicks at Ashton Gate for the first time since October 1975.
Bristol City have won their opening home game in just two of the last seven league seasons (D3 L2). However, following their 4-1 win at Sheffield United on MD1, they could start a league campaign with back-to-back victories for the first time since 2020-21.
Following their 1-0 win at Watford on MD1, Charlton will be looking to start consecutive league campaigns with back-to-back wins for the first time since 2009-10 to 2011-12 (all in League One).
In this match, Charlton will be looking to claim their first away victory in the Championship since a 1-0 success against Hull City in June 2020.
On MD1, Bristol City's Scott Twine recorded two goals and an assist against Sheffield United; the first time he's recorded three goal contributions in a Championship match and the fourth time in his overall EFL career.
