Bristol City vs Norwich City

Tuesday night, the second round of the EFL Cup will be played at Ashton Gate Stadium between Bristol City and Norwich City.

It's a Championship match between two teams, with the home team currently in 14th place and the visitors in second.

Bristol City has had a respectable, if not spectacular, start to the season. After their first four league games, they have won one, tied two, and lost one, placing them in the middle of the table.

The Robins have a history of finishing in the center of the pack; they finished in 14th place last season, and their early-season performance suggests they may have another season like that.

Nigel Pearson's team drew 1-1 with Preston North End at home on the first day of the season, and despite losing to Birmingham City in their most recent league match at Ashton Gate on Tuesday, they have yet to triumph there.

To get to this level of the competition, Bristol City had to defeat Oxford United at home 5-1 at the beginning of the month, and they did it with a very remarkable performance.

Norwich City, who are trying to get back into the Premier League, will be anxious to avoid repeating their seventh-place finish from last year, and they have had a very promising start.

As of this point in the season, Norwich is in second place after winning three and drawing one of their first four games. They have also scored the most goals of any side in the league.

The Canaries' sole loss this season came in an away encounter against newly relegated Southampton, as the Saints struck an equalizer in the 97th minute to snap their unbeaten streak.

David Wagner's team must defeat another Championship team now that they have advanced thus far in the competition by defeating Queens Park Rangers 1-0 on the road. They have a very excellent recent record against this opposition, having won four of the last five meetings.
