BIG MATCH GUIDE

-

When: Saturday December 16, 5.30pm kick off Where: Cardiff City Stadium Odds: Cardiff City win 3/4, Draw 11/4 , Hull win 17/4 Key Men: Junior Hoilett (Cardiff City): Not only does Hoilett offer potency going forward, he also works terrifical­ly hard tracking back. Warnock fielded the Canadian in a more central position at Reading but his best displays have been from the left wing. Kamil Grosicki (Hull City): Nigel Adkins acknowledg­ed the Polish winger is “a Premier League player” after he scored the first goal of the Adkins era in the 3-2 victory over Brentford last week. What the managers have said: Neil Warnock: “They’ve got some good players and are the top scorers in the league apart from Wolves so our back-line, if Morrison isn’t fit, will be tested. Forget where we are in the league, we’re underdogs a lot of the time. Dawson is a great pro and Campbell can score any day of the week.” Nigel Adkins: “Cardiff score goals and put the ball in good areas of the field. They have good players and they work to a system, which they do very, very well. We have a positive mindset in the camp though and we go there ready for a challengin­g game.” Probable teams: Cardiff (4-2-3-1): Etheridge, Peltier, Manga, Bamba, Bennett; Damour, Ralls; Mendez-Laing, Tomlin, Hoilett; Bogle. Hull: (4-2-3-1): McGregor; Tomori, Dawson, Mazuch, Aina; Meyler, Larsson; Irvine, Campbell, Grosicki; Dicko. Referee: Scott Duncan
