Met Office issues weather warning for Bristol City vs Sheffield Wednesday
Issues with the weather have caused complications for multiple EFL fixtures this season, with some even being cancelled.
Now, the Met Office on 22 January issued a weather warning for South West England due to expected periods of heavy wind and rain.
The warning suggests that there could be delays to road and rail travel, with some bus and train journeys expected to take longer.
On top of this, coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray as well as large waves.
However, the website also clarifies that Bristol will not be directly hit by this, with the wind and rain stopping at Weston-super-Mare in England and Newport in Wales.
The poor weather should only last between 2am on Friday and 9am on Saturday.
Therefore, with the warning also only being a yellow one, the game should go ahead without any issues.
