So with Wolves winning, and now a four point lead...let’s hope for a win against these nice people...maybe a two goal win! 
This is the sort of game Neil Warnock relishes. Never mind the usual managerial cliche of keeping a cool head in the so-called Severnside derby.
Warnock is different, telling BBC Radio Wales: "In derbies, you can't say 'calm down'. You've got to feel the passion. Managers feel it, the fans get up."
Cardiff have not lost to any of the other sides in the current top eight this term, and Warnock did the double over the Robins last season. His reign started with a 2-1 home win over Bristol City with Tomlin netting for the visitors.
The fact that Tomlin moved to Cardiff in the summer adds another ingredient to a really tasty derby brew.

Matches between Bristol City and Cardiff are games to look forward to. In my time at BBC Radio Bristol, Cardiff have had the upper hand - but on this occasion the game comes with even more added spice.
Bristol City have been in impressive form, and Lee Johnson will be looking to close the gap on their Severnside rivals towards the top of the table.
From his time as Crystal Palace boss, Warnock has enjoyed a rivalry with the red half of Bristol. And this weekend sees the return of Tomlin, who interestingly returned to Cardiff's starting line-up on Tuesday. He will be desperate to start again against his former club.
For Bristol City, it's a real test of their credentials - but on the evidence of their most recent victory at Fulham, they have every chance of beating Cardiff for the first time in five years.
