Whisper it quietly, but Cardiff are unbeaten in their least three matches and have moved up to 19th in the table - three points clear of the bottom three.
After the remarkable turnaround win against Wolves in the week, Neil Warnock will he hoping that his Cardiff City side can record back-to-back league victories for the first time since March.
There is a chance the Bluebirds can jump up to 17th in the table by 5pm today if results fall kindly elsewhere, and that would represent a good place to be at Christmas given the start they had under Paul Trollope.
Speaking of the former manager, today is also Warnock's 11th match in charge of Cardiff - the same number that Trollope lasted.
Barnsley are the visitors to Cardiff City Stadium today, and Paul Heckingbottom's side are comfortably in mid-table despite being tipped for the drop at the start of the season.
Can the Bluebirds send their fans home today with an early Christmas present?
