After winning his first game in his second spell as Blackpool boss, Michael Appleton oversaw a run of three matches where his side lost to Stoke City and Swansea City in the league, while they were knocked out of the EFL Cup by Barrow on penalties.
However, the Tangerines bounced back with a 1-0 away win over Queens Park Rangers before travelling to Turf Moor to face Burnley last weekend.
Goals from Josh Brownhill and Nathan Tella gave Burnley a two-goal lead, and although Theo Corbeanu pulled a goal back for Blackpool, Tella found the net once again before half time.
As the contest drifted into the final 20 minutes, Blackpool looked set to lose for the third time in the league this season, but two goals in two minutes from Shayne Lavery and Jerry Yates helped the visitors clinch a point with a 3-3 draw.
After scoring more than two goals in a match for the first time this season, Blackpool will hope that they can trouble a Bristol City defence that has conceded only three goals in their last five matches.
Meanwhile, Bristol City have bounced back after losing their opening two league games to take seven points from their last three Championship matches.
Those three league games are included in Bristol City’s current five-game unbeaten run, with their last three matches all resulting in victory.

After beating Luton 2-0 to claim their first league win of the season, the Robins repeated that scoreline against Cardiff City last weekend thanks to goals from Tommy Conway and Rob Atkinson.
Nigel Pearson’s side turned their attention to the EFL Cup in midweek, where they swept aside Wycombe Wanderers 3-1 after Dylan Kadji, Kane Wilson and Antoine Semenyo all found the net.
The Robins will now turn their attention to Saturday’s contest as they attempt to claim their first away win of the Championship season.
