Its Eveton Away Today

Cardiff City fans are on the road this weekend to the City of Liverpool to face off against Everton. Will we see the Bluebirds first league away win of the season? Having won two of the last four games and against Tottenham and Leicester were both only 1-0 defeats shows an improvement in the Cardiff team.

A fact the Welshman have not won at Goodison Park since 1926, been awhile then.

I woke up this morning optimistic about the game today and reckon there could be points for Cardiff. There is a lot of belief needed in your team in the Premier League especially if everyone and there dog expects your team to be relegated even before a ball was kicked.

After 12 games Cardiff are, eighteenth the league table just inside a relegation spot sharing the same eight points with Southampton and Crystal Palace with the bottom seven becoming slightly detached from the rest of the league.

The last time we played each other was Cardiff brief visit to the Premier League in 2013/14 season and over the two games Cardiff managed to collect a point in the 0-0 draw at the Cardiff City Stadium and later in that season, Everton picked up the three points.

Neil Warnock is counting down to January transfer window were he intends to get a forward or two to enhance Cardiff’s survival prospects

"I think the main priorities are a full-back, central midfielder and a striker," he said.

"Definitely we are looking. We're only allowed one other loan from the Premier League because we've got Harry [Arter] until the end of the season.

"We have to prioritise which players we can get on loan and then we've got to look abroad to bring the other two or three in, which we are doing at the moment.

"I would think it makes sense if we can get players on loan, rather than spending massive money, until you know if you're in the Premier League or not.

"But I'm sure if the right striker came about and we've got the realistic money, I think Vincent [Tan, Cardiff's owner] would listen to us.

"We need to try and get a move on so we've got one or two in straight away in January, rather than the last minute again."

So how did my favourite pundits see the game going in their crystal balls? There is no surprise with both Robbie Savage and Mark Lawrenson predicting a defeat. So does Lawrenson’s guest this week Mumford & Sons join the footballing expert’s prediction a defeat?

Sean Morrison failed to finish the game against Brighton after a broken nose but has been passed fit for the Everton. Harry Arter returns after a ban and Jazz Richards may be available after a hamstring problem, but a calf injury is likely to sideline Kenneth Zohore.
