Cardiff is a team that has several strengths, both offensive and defensive, such as finalization, counterattacks, set pieces and aerial game. Despite two straight defeats, coach Neil Warnock is expected to keep the team in 4-3-3 with Zohore as the most offensive reference. However, it is important to note that left-winger Junior Hoilett is Cardiff's top scorer with 6 goals scored. Gunnarsson and Richards are some of the usual absent from injury.
