Parker wary of Bluebirds' set-piece prowess
Scott Parker has spoken about Cardiff City's prowess at the set piece and how it could be a big factor in deciding tonight's game.
He said: “First and foremost it will be a tough game, it will be an evenly balanced game.
“Margins will probably decide it, but they have the capabilities in their team, the personnel in their team to hurt teams.
"I think (set-pieces are) a big area.
“Set-play wise, I think the majority of their goals this year have come from set plays, a large percentage of the goals they’ve scored have come from that.
“They’re a big threat. We also need to be fully alert and get our detail right in terms of set plays.
“It’s going to be pivotal in this game. That is one area I think they’ve got a real threat, in terms of the size and their bodies.
“Evidence suggests the amount of goals they have scored from set plays this year proves that.
“We’re gonna need to be focused at dead-ball situations.”
