Pre-Stoke City facts:
Cardiff City have won two of their last 11 league matches against Stoke City (D5 L4).
Stoke are winless in three away league matches against Cardiff (D2 L1) since a 1-0 win in August 2007 with a goal from Ryan Shawcross.
Cardiff have won four of their last five league matches during the week (L1), keeping a clean sheet in each of those victories. This comes after a six-game losing run in such games.
Stoke have collected just 12 points from their 11 midweek Championship games this season (W3 D3 L5), though two of their three wins did come away from home, one of which was in Wales at Swansea in August.
Having beaten Swansea back in August, Stoke City are looking to win more than once in Wales in the same Football League campaign for the first time since 1999-00, when they beat Wrexham and Cardiff in the third tier under Gary Megson.
