Neil Warnock will feel his side let a massive opportunity slip from their grasp last time out as Cardiff were beaten 1-0 by already-relegated Fulham – a result which put a massive dent in their survival aspirations. They head into this weekend needing maximum points to keep their hopes alive and even then that may not be enough for the Bluebirds, should Brighton manage an unlikely victory at Arsenal which would see the Seagulls soar out of reach.

Crystal Palace are looking to bounce back to winning ways after playing out to a disappointing goalless stalemate with Everton last time out. Roy Hodgson’s side will be without the services of the defensive trio of Jeffrey Schlupp, James Tomkins and Mamadou Sakho through injury as they look to secure their fourth away win from their last five attempts, with their only defeat coming away to Tottenham Hotspur in the inaugural match at their new stadium.
