Cardiff boast a record of five wins, eight draws and 12 defeats from their 25 league matches this season, with a total of 23 points leaving them in 23rd spot in the Championship table.

The Welsh outfit are only three points ahead of basement side Plymouth Argyle, but they are level on points with 21st-placed Portsmouth, so it is far from panic stations with a lot of football left to play this term.

Omer Riza's side will bring a four-game unbeaten run into this contest, picking up five points from their last three Championship matches against Watford, Coventry City and Middlesbrough, before beating Sheffield United 1-0 in the third round of the FA Cup.

The Bluebirds have struggled in front of their own fans this season, only picking up 13 points from 12 matches, which is the second-worst home record in the division behind Hull City (12).
