CARDIFF CITY


Ole has to decide on whether he keeps to the side that shocked Southampton or changes it to a more attacking side for the home match with Stoke City.

Cardiff are yet to get a back to back win in the Premier League, will this be the one?

Kenwyne Jones, is not expected to feature as he continues to nurse a muscle strain, while Craig Noone and Mark Hudson are definitely missing for the Bluebirds.

Andrew Taylor, Declan John and Ben Turner are all defensive injury concerns for Solskjaer, who may not risk any of the trio and stick with the same side that were slender winners over Southampton.

The Norwegian, though, does have the option of using Craig Bellamy or Wifried Zaha, both of whom were brought on as substitutes last week, from the start if he wants some extra pace in his side.


' STOKE CITY '

Stoke will continue to be without long-term absentees Robert Huth and Oussama Assaidi for their trip to the Cardiff City Stadium, while Matthew Etherington has joined them in the treatment room.

Hughes will name Peter Odemwingie, who has scored four goals since moving from Cardiff to the Potters in an exchange deal in January, up front against the club where he spent just six months.

Regardless of the score, I pray to all of the Gods of all religions that Odemwingie doesn't score.

Come on Stoke!

Would be interesting to see

Campbell
Daehli Zaha
Mutch
Whitts
Medel
Fabio Cala Caulker KTC
Marshall

I think this will be a big win or a soul crushing defeat... let's go for 3-1 Cardiff!

4 games left and looks like we will need 7 points to survive, Stoke don't have anything to play for we can win this and still stay up!

Cant believe you jus leaked the team

Howard Webb will be the man in the middle when Stoke visit Ole Gunnar Solksjaer`s Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium this weekend.

Webb has refereed 27 times this season handing out 80 yellow cards and two red cards, at an average of 3.04 cards per game.

The Sheffield & Hallamshire F.A. referee was promoted to the Premier League select group of referee`s in 2003, elected to the FIFA list in 2008 and became the first person to referee both the World Cup final and the Champions League final in the same season in 2010.

The South Yorkshire official has refereed Stoke once this season. The Potters` 0-0 draw with Midlands` rivals West Brom. He showed one yellow card in the game, to Stoke`s Andy Wilkinson.

The 42-year-old has officiated Cardiff three times this season, their 2-0 defeat at West Ham, 1-0 home win against West Brom and 4-0 home defeat against Hull. He handed out six yellow cards over the fixtures, four to Cardiff players.

M Mullarkey and D Cann are the Assistant referees for the encounter.

Goddamn I'm so nervous. If we win today I might cry, providing Fulham, Sunderland and Norwich don't win

@CardiffCityFC XI: Marshall; KTC, Caulker (C), Cala, Fabio; Medel, Whittingham, Kim, Mutch, Dæhli; Campbell. #CARSTK


CardiffCityFC bench: Lewis; Turner, Jones, Eikrem, Gunnarsson, Zaha, John. #CARSTK

With the exception of Kim, I think this is the best team that could of been out out today, from who's available of course.

Come on city, time for our first back to back ...PLEASE!


On another note ... where is Bellers ? Thought he would at least have been on the bench.

Mutch and Daehlie are the only ones who can create something in that side..

Mutch and Daehlie are the only ones who can create something in that side..

Not forgetting Whittingham and Campbell.

mutch should of scored then

Mutch should of buried that, Daelhi on fire so far.

We have to keep a good tempo. Cmon boys!

(KTC defending woeful too)

Come on City

Pretty even game so far, would away more to us we've had a couple of good chances. Daelhi is on fire skinning everyone, he could be the game changer.

Cala needs to be careful pulling Crouch's shirt, should have been a penalty.

Kim needed to shoot there. not pass it off

Daehlie is actually sick! 19 years old.. Jesus christ

Phew

Thought Wingie was guna score then

Campbell is just not good enough for this league, if only we had a good striker!

If only a few of our boys were on the same planet as Daelhi
Come on city

Daehlie is head and shoulders above anyone on that pitch. Fooking 19, he is destined for big big things

Kimbo on the other hand seems to have gone a long way down hill

KTC is poor as well, he doesn't seem to know what to do with the ball so just hoofs it.

unlucky whitts

That shot from Whitts would have hit the post, that kind of free kick Eikrem NEVER misses target :/

KTC forgot his skills at home today. Anything he does looks like he is a amateur footballer.. Dæhli however is excellent!
