    Gotta keep cool against a famous old club. A win puts us back on track and feeling a whole lot better!

    Cardiff striker Craig Bellamy is expected to return after being rested for Saturday's defeat at Peterborough.
    Manager Malky Mackay will make changes and Craig Noone, Joe Mason and Craig Conway are all pushing for starts.
    Colin Kazim-Richards is expected to start for Blackburn after making a second-half substitute appearance in their 1-1 draw against Blackpool.
    Blackburn are hopeful that Marcus and Martin Olsson will be fit while David Bentley (knee) is close to returning.

    Head-to-head

    • Cardiff won 4-1 at Ewood Park in December with four different scorers in the first league meeting of these clubs in 27 seasons.
    • It was the Bluebirds first victory in seven league clashes, and gives them the chance of a first league double over the Lancashire club since 1979.
    • Blackburn are vying for a 5th successive away league victory over the Bluebirds.

    Cardiff City

    • Leaders Cardiff still have an eight point cushion between themselves and the play-off places, despite losing for the second time this season to relegation threatened Peterborough on Saturday.
    • The Bluebirds, who last played top-flight football in 1962, are pursuing an unrivalled 24th Championship victory, but they have only notched maximum points from one of their last five games.
    • The Welsh club have already recorded home and away victories over Birmingham, Leeds, Millwall, Blackpool, Sheffield Wednesday and Wolves - Blackburn could become the sevienth.

    Blackburn Rovers

    • Mid-table Blackburn have had twice as many managerial changes as away league wins this season.
    • Gary Bowyer is in his second caretaker spell at Ewood Park this term and is yet to lose a game (W3, D2), although Blackburn are without victory in nine league and cup games since dismissing Arsenal from the FA Cup on 16 February.
    &#8226; Rovers have lost their last three away from home without scoring a single goal, and have only beaten struggling Peterborough (only? <whistle>), Barnsley, and Bristol City on their Championship travels this term.

    Gunner and Mutch to provide the grunt, with a lot of pace around that.

    That was a bit of a let off. We need a goal to dent their confidence.

    For me to get the score right, Bellamy needs to score then Whitts needs to come off the bench and hit the back of the net.
