Cardiff City

Neil Warnock will be without Joe Ralls for the remainder of the season, as he confirmed the midfielder will be lucky to be fit for pre-season with a torn hamstring that he picked up on Sunday in the 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Elsewhere, it is “touch and go” whether Harry Arter will be fit enough to play a part in West London. The Irish midfielder missed the games against Brighton and Liverpool after nicking his calf whilst being substituted at Turf Moor against Burnley a few weeks ago.



Joe Ralls will miss City's last three matches due to injury.



And Arter?

Neil Warnock:

“You just don’t know with Harry from one day to the next.
“His brother-in-law’s Scott Parker. So we’re banning him from watching us train this week, just in case he’s after going to Fulham next year!”

SCOTT PARKER (Fulham):

"Team news is pretty positive. @ThomasCairney will come back. There's a slight doubt over @Andre_Schuerrle as his wife is close to giving birth. @AlfieMawson is in contention."

About Fulham

Fulham Football Club is a professional association football club based in Fulham, West London, England. Founded in 1879, they currently compete in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. They are the oldest football club from London to play in the Football League.

The club has spent 26 seasons in English football's top division, the majority of these in two spells during the 1960s and 2000s. The latter spell was associated with former chairman Mohamed Al-Fayed, after the club had climbed up from the fourth tier in the 1990s. Fulham have reached two major finals: in 1975, as a Second Division team, they contested the FA Cup Final for the only time in their history, losing 2–0 to West Ham United, and in 2010 they reached the final of the UEFA Europa League, which they contested with Atlético Madrid in Hamburg, losing 2–1 after extra time.

Predictions

Post your predictions below

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Our relegation rivals, Brighton, travel to Spurs on Tuesday before this match on Saturday.

We really need a Spurs win.

Anything other than a win is relegation in my opinion.

We have stepped up everytime we have needed to this season so far in big games.

This will be no different
City will win 2-1

Joe Ralls will miss out, might miss the rest of the season with his hamstring going while chasing back today

You got the date wrong,,

Anything other than a win is relegation in my opinion.

We have stepped up everytime we have needed to this season so far in big games.

This will be no different
City will win 2-1

At least a draw

Our relegation rivals, Brighton, travel to Spurs on Tuesday before this match on Saturday.

We really need a Spurs win.

So do they so hopefully they tonk em

As the season unfolded I wanted to go to Fulham and relegate them on the day, but it will be just as good when we win and stay up and not listen to those damn clappers ever again

Fulham 0-2 Cardiff City. I can see Neil Warnock doing a job on the inexperienced Scott Parker.

I know fans have had no probs previously
but the message on their official website is still saying ..owing to restrictions put on the club by the SAFETY ADVISORY GROUP we are unable to sell tickets to away { Cardiff } supporters and electronic tickets bought from CF addresses will be cancelled

might be just to put people off, but I see the concerns.

Hope we batter them.

Really worried about this one, it just seems like everything conspires against us, Fulham have been shit all year and then win two games comfortably in a row just before we play them in a must-win game.

I just hope Warnock finds the way to get through this difficult game with a win of any sort then it's game on

Fulham seem to be our “bogey” team, the results over the past few seasons, going back before our last stint in the PL, have been varied, we seem to struggle against them at times, play out boring draws, they’ve got nothing to lose already relegated and playing at home, it’s up to us to go and get the 3 points we need

Last game we played them wasn't a boring draw

I think we will do well to get anything out of this match, possibly a score draw at best. My prediction would be 1-1.

the team i would play would be a 4132 but with wide midfielders so

etheridge
pelts manga mozza bennett
gunnars
hoilett victor mendez
reid niasse

we have to go and attack them everyone knows how bad their defence can be, reid has to play surely, fulham are the sort of team he strives against

I think we need to go all out attack and because of injuries shake it up a bit and confuse Fulham.

I would go 3 at the back, purely because of our midfield crisis unless Arter is fit and hope to get a few early goals before closing up shop. We have nothing to lose a draw is not good enough.

We would get beat with that team IMO stick with the team giving great performances, Arter in for Injured Ralls and back to basics and stay solid

I didn’t say the last game we played against them

FULHAM FC:


"The fans have been with us throughout the whole season. We just want to do it for them because we owe them a lot."

@RyanSessegnon is desperate for victory over Cardiff.

Come on city ! We can do it today ! 2-1 city !

I always get twitchy seeing Sessignon’s name in the line up. He always seems to score versus City.

Anybody else a bag of nerves ?
