The Championship has already thrilled this season and we're certainly excited about the amount of surprise packages currently challenging for the top six.

Indeed, the likes of Sheffield United, Preston and Bristol City are probably the most credible sides to perhaps spring a surprise and get themselves into a promotion winning place or the top six. And, of the three, it is probably Bristol City who are playing the most exciting football right now.

With the likes of Bobby Reid and Famara Diedhiou up top, the Robins have a real chance of winning any game they play but they are also strong defensively with the likes of Aden Flint and Joe Bryan. Indeed, it is the latter who has chalked up quite the stat this season - as per Stat Attack on Twitter:

The left-back, then, is really shining in a Robins defence that is packed full of good players looking to improve themselves and that culture is clearly propelling the side forwards. Surely, then, if Lee Johnson can keep this side together through January and perhaps add to it, we could be looking at a promotion winning campaign.

The Verdict

The men from Ashton Gate have been superb this season and there is a real case to suggest that they can keep it up for the rest of the campaign.

They'll need to add in January but their first XI is a real test for anyone and if they stay together then who knows where they could end up this season.
