Nice to see the football back tonight and we face a home game against Watford on a high on the pitch with our first back-to-back wins and our first double in the Premier League this season beating Southampton home and away. The 13-day break has been a bit of a nightmare I just hope the players remember where they left off. Cardiff would move up to 13th depending on other results by claiming a third successive victory.
Emiliano Sala story is still on going with the talk of court action on the cards. Nantes has agreed an extension for the first transfer fee instalment as Cardiff lawyers look into the deal.
With 12 games left until the end of the season points are desperately needed. The last time we were in the Premier league, we were relegated on 30 points with 36 the safety mark and since then over the last five seasons, the average is 37/38 points. That could mean winning four or five would be better of the 12 games to dodge relegation.
We lost 3-2 in the home fixture at Watford in December the stats over the last five games are pretty much equal. Watford were in action last weekend in the FA Cup and beat Championship club QPR 1-0. Cardiff boss Neil Warnock rates this Watford squad and is predicting the game will be tough.
Cardiff are hoping midfielder Victor Camarasa will be fit to start against Watford following a calf injury. He came off the bench at Southampton and defender Sean Morrison could join the squad after his five weeks out after he had an appendix operation.
Games that matter in our private little league table,
Fri … West Ham v Fulham
Sat … Burnley v Tottenham
Sat … Newcastle v Huddersfield
Sat … Leicester v Palace
Sun … Arsenal v Southampton
So a defeat for Fulham tonight would be helpful and on the weekend I expect both Tottenham and Arsenal to win. Come on Leicester win. It would be great for a Huddersfield win at Newcastle but a draw could still be helpful and Brighton has no game this weekend.
