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. BBC Radio Bristol sports editor Richard Hoskin 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. Match facts The Robins have won two of their past 17 matches against Cardiff in all competitions (D4 L11). The Bluebirds have won four of their past six trips to Ashton Gate (L2) since a run of 19 games without a win there in all competitions between 1970 and 2010. Bristol City, who lost their last home league game 3-0 against Leeds, haven't lost back to back home league games by three or more goals since April 1932. Cardiff have more than double the number of points this season after 15 league games (31) than they had at this stage last season (15). Bobby Reid has scored nine goals in 15 league appearances this season, as many as he'd managed in his previous 119 games. Omar Bogle, who scored against Ipswich in his last appearance for Cardiff, hasn't scored in back-to-back league matches since November 2016 when he played for Grimsby Town in League Two.
Here’s your Cardiff City team... Etheridge, Peltier, Paterson, Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Ralls, Bryson, Hoilett, Mendez-Laing, Bogle.
Johnson added: “We know what to expect. They will be physical and their ‘ball in play’ stats are amongst the lowest in the division.
Hey Supcon - I can never resist a bet on City when the odds are decent. So I'll mention it now before KO to be totally up front. Looks like from what you've said I've wasted 40 quid @ 2/1. Will I ever learn?
Looking how bogle has hit his straps maybe we should have cashed in on Ken. Just need it super sub to do it again.
My goal scorer prediction is done, have only seen the last 20 minutes, due to some cock up with iFollow. First 25 minutes was audio only, then I lost the audio, refreshed my screen and the live stream came up.
