Brighton are today's visitors .... Live on Sky 12.30pm


It was all emotional last Saturday on and off the field! The Leicester visitors were caught up with the death of their chairman and benefactor Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. They left with a bonus three points following a 1-0 victory. Today for the early kick-off due to the game live on Sky Sport Brighton are the visitors.

After eleven games a pundit as predicted, a Cardiff win over the 12th place Brighton and its only Mark Lawrenson highly respected in the punditry game whacking out a 1-0 score line for the Welshman. Robbie Savage in the Daily Mirror could not go as far as a Cardiff win, instead predicting a draw.

Checking the records, we have never met in a top league fixture it is the first time I noticed that stat. On the pitch, Cardiff will be without midfielder Harry Arter as he serves a one-match ban for accumulating five bookings this season picking up his fifth booking in Cardiff's 1-0 home defeat to Leicester last time out. Jazz Richards misses out due to a hamstring injury and Kenneth Zohore remains side-lined with a calf problem. Cardiff could welcome back Joe Ralls, who has served a three-match ban.

The game is in the must-win territory for Cardiff once again, much like with the Fulham home game, which led to Cardiff, only win of the season. In our position, every game his must win and in the press Cardiff boss Neil Warnock said the points to escape relegation would be low this season. Last season Swansea when down with 33 points so what will Cardiff need for an end of season survival.
