Bristol City manager Michael Skubala has discussed the future of the club's captain, Jason Knight, whose contract is due to expire next summer. Skubala hopes that a recent joint statement from the club and Knight will bring an end to speculation surrounding the player's future. As Bristol City sits 6th in the Championship, the focus remains on the pitch. Skubala believes every player wants to challenge for Premier League football. The club's sporting director, James Ellis, acknowledged that Knight has ambitions of playing at the highest level, which Skubala says is shared throughout the squad. With their next fixture against Burnley on September 5, 2026, Bristol City will look to continue their push for the Premier League.

With the summer transfer window closed, Bristol City will look to build on their current form. The team is currently 3 points behind leaders Swansea, and a win against Burnley could help them close the gap. For the latest statistics on the team's performance, visit our stats page.
