Cardiff City v Bristol City live stream, Sky Sports, Friday 6 November, 6.00pm GMT

Cardiff are aiming to record back-to-back wins for the first time this season when they host Bristol City in the Championship on Friday night.

The Bluebirds have had an inconsistent start to the campaign and their 3-0 win over Barnsley in midweek ended a four-match winless run.

Bristol City haven’t fared much better lately but they also secured a precious win during the week, beating Huddersfield 2-1, to end a miserable run of form in which they collected two points from five matches.

Their away form this season has been good, though, with the Robins taking 10 points from a possible 15 on the road so far.

Lee Tomlin is injured for the hosts, while Greg Cunningham and Jordi Osei-Tutu are doubtful.

Bristol City boss Dean Holden is without Nathan Baker, Steven Sessegnon and Alfie Mawson through injury.  

Holden could be tempted to hand a chance from the start to Antoine Semenyo and Famara Diedhiou after they made an impact off the bench in Tuesday’s victory at the John Smith’s Stadium.

Kick-off is at 6.00pm GMT and the game is being shown on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.

Use a VPN to watch a Cardiff City v Bristol City live stream from outside your country

If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Jamie Vardy goal. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below). 

All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.

There are plenty of options out there, including:
