Aaron Wilbraham's 18th goal of the season ensures the Robins remain heavy favourites for the League One title
Bristol City fought back to draw at fellow automatic promotion hopefuls Preston to maintain their eight-point lead at the top of League One.
Jermaine Beckford's overhead kick went wide for Preston and City's Aaron Wilbraham hit the bar early on.
North End took the lead in the second half when Beckford scored from Paul Gallagher's assist.
The Robins retaliated immediately with Wilbraham heading in Aden Flint's flick on to earn City a point.
Bristol City need just one more win to guarantee Championship football next season while Preston are five points clear of third-placed MK Dons with five games to go.
Bristol City boss Steve Cotterill told BBC Radio Bristol:
Steve Cotterill: Bristol City manager on Preston draw
"It could have been three and maybe if you look at it with their goalkeeper [Sam Johnstone] being man of the match, he's pulled out three fantastic saves today - one from Kieran Agard at the end with a cross-shot and another two from Aaron Wilbraham.
"How he's kept the two out from Wilbraham I don't know.
"So with him getting man of the match, it probably says a lot about our performance today.
"I thought we were good in a pretty hot atmosphere for us."
