London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and… Bristol?
Despite being the eighth-biggest city in England, Bristol has never hosted Premier League football – but that could be about to change.
After reaching the Championship play-offs, a two-legged semi-final against Sheffield United and a possible final against Coventry or Sunderland at Wembley is all that stands between the Robins and the top flight.
Bristol City were relegated from Division One – the top tier prior to the introduction of the Premier League – in 1979-80 and have spent the past 25 seasons trying to get back to the top table.
The closest they have come was in 2007-08, but Hull proved too strong in the Championship play-off final.
After 10 successive seasons in the second tier, are Bristol City ready to end their exile?
Their city rivals Bristol Rovers have played in the third tier or lower since their relegation from Division One in 1992–93.
With an estimated population of about 480,000, Bristol is by far the biggest English city that has never had a Premier League team.
BBC Sport looks at some of the cities who have hosted league football but are yet to get a taste of the Premier League.
