Cardiff City face unbeaten Chelsea tomorrow looking for their first win of their Premier League season. The Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock as defiantly stated he would not park the bus in front of Cardiff’s goal it rarely works anyway.
Neil Warnock is not overly pleased with Chelsea over his attempts to sign Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham. The Chelsea boss said the player wanted to stay at Chelsea and was surprised he changed his mind and said he wanted to go to Villa. His efforts to sign the striker failed but now Welsh international sensation Ethan Ampadu is reported as a possible new loan target.
The Premier League will test video assistant referee (VAR) technology at the Chelsea game and it will be interesting. Personally, I am on the fence over its use with mistakes made at the World Cup. The trial, will be over all five Saturday 3pm kick-offs, and like in the World Cup any decisions will be at the central VAR hub.
Communication will be with the referee and no one at the grounds at which the games are taking place. The trial limits the use of VAR to goals, penalty calls, direct red cards, and cases of potential mistaken identity.
A big decision for Warnock both Josh Murphy and Aron Gunnarsson could be available for selection for Chelsea, will he risk starting Gunnarsson who is yet to play a game this season or start him on the bench. Murphy will be assessed before Cardiff’s side is named he was a £11million buy from Norwich in the summer.
The Chelsea boss said Fabregas is training with the team and believes he could be available for the bench. He also intimated he could rest some of the players back from the international break and a few players are carrying minor injuries.
No light around the corner when it comes to predictions with Daily Mirror columnist Robbie Savage calling a 3-0 defeat but Hollywood to the rescue in the shape of Mark Wahlberg. He predicts a 2-1 for the Welshman but before you have a rush of excitement, what Wahlberg knows about football can be written on the back of a postage stamp.
