Another game ... must be a win

Anyone know my team for Stoke
Another weekend and an all-important game for Cardiff City and another must win. The Cardiff City Stadium should be packed to the rafters for the visit of Stoke City.
The battle is now heating up to beat the drop back to the Championship with only four games left before the end of the season.
The week has been full of 'spy gate' in the media and little about the game this Saturday. The outcome is unlikely to see a point’s deduction for Crystal Palace, but the club are pursuing it with some vigour with a five-page letter of complaint sent to the Premier League. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at this morning’s pre-match press conference spent most of his time fending off questions about ‘spy gate’ with a larger than normal press-core in attendance.
He also confirmed they were no injury concerns ahead of the Stoke game other than those with long-term issues. Solskjaer believes 35 points are needed to stay up: "We get two wins and a draw we have 36. It is doable. We’ve got a chance," he told the assembled audience.
Stoke manager Mark Hughes has a few injury problems but that has not stopped them winning five of the last seven games seeing them safe in mid table. Cardiff fans are likely to see former Cardiff City player Peter Odemwingie, who joined the Potters in January in an exchange deal that saw Kenwyne Jones come the other way.
Jones maybe doubtful for the game but Odemwingie can expect a pity rough ride if he plays from a section of Cardiff fans. He failed to impress while with the Bluebirds from last summer for a fee of £2.25 million until January and the swap.
