Last home game of a season to remember against another famous old side of my youth, quite a lot in this league. Could be any result today, a good win, a park your bus bore draw, even a single goal defeat. Then the party continues... Defender Leon Barnett will miss Cardiff's coronation as champions after being recalled by parent club Norwich, with Miss Nugent set to replace him. Fraizer Campbell has a late test but Matt Connolly is still sidelined. Bolton could give Noddy Holden a second league outing of the season after he returned from a loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday. He could replace Jay Spearing, who is recovering from a broken toe, while David Ngog (shoulder) is also out. MATCH FACTS Head-to-head • Bolton beat Cardiff 2-1 when they crossed swords at the Reebok in November, despite having one of their goal scorers David Ngog sent off in the closing minute. • The Trotters are now chasing a fifth successive victory over Cardiff in league and cup and back-to-back doubles over them, after achieving home and away triumphs when last in the same division together in 1989-90 at third league level. • Cardiff have won three of their last 12 clashes with Bolton, losing all nine of the other games. Cardiff City • Cardiff are already planning for life in the Premier League, having won promotion with three matches to spare, and the title with two fixtures left. • Malky Mackay's side have completed an unrivalled 25 victories, 18 clean sheets and also found the net in 24 consecutive league games between August and January. • They launched their promotion bid on a 10-match winning home streak at the outset of the campaign, and have allowed only Peterborough and Brighton to walk away with maximum points from the Cardiff City Stadium. Bolton Wanderers • Bolton are vying for a place in the end-of-season play-offs with nine wins from 12 outings, and are hunting a fifth victory in six. • The Trotters do not do anything by halves, being on one of the longest current runs in English league football without a draw of 12 games; only Bournemouth exceed that (19). • But Dougie Freedman's men are far more successful in front of their own supporters than they are on their travels, with 10 fewer wins and 28 fewer points picked up away from home than at the Reebok Stadium; it is the widest discrepancy in the Championship.

An, provided we beat lLeeds of course, if you can't do that can you just get a draw please?! Congrats on the title though lads - delighted for Malky and obviously nice to see some of our old boys getting a bit of the glory as well
A draw is on the cards at Hull, Malky will not go there to lose. Reckon you need to beat Leeds to be promoted !!
