The pair are two of the longest-serving teams in the second tier but at least one of them could be playing in a different division next term.

Relegation fears are impossible to ignore at Preston, who have started the season with three straight defeats and are just one place off the bottom of the table.

The Robins have sights set on returning to the Championship play-offs this term, though they currently sit in an all-too-familiar spot in mid-table.

Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Preston v Bristol City on TV and online.
