What channel is Bristol City v Watford Championship match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Bristol City are looking to arrest their Championship losing streak when they welcome Watford to Ashton Gate on Friday night.
The Robins have endured a nightmare week as they were hammered 4-1 by red-hot Southampton last Saturday before being beaten by manager Michael Skubala's former club Lincoln City on Tuesday.
The 1-0 loss to the Imps was further soured by centre-back Rob Dickie being carried off on a stretcher with a suspected knee injury.
Watford are also hoping to bounce back to winning ways after suffering a 2-1 home defeat to Stoke City last weekend, a result that continued their sluggish start to the Championship campaign.
The Hornets have collected just eight points from their seven outings, although new boss Alessio Dionisi has had severely limited options to work with in the opening weeks of the season due to fitness issues and late transfers.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Bristol City v Watford on TV and online.
