CARDIFF CITY V NORWICH CITY
When: kick-off Where: Cardiff City Stadium Odds: Cardiff win 19/20, Norwich win 10/3, Draw 13/5 Friday December 1, 7.45pm Key Men Joe Ralls (Cardiff City): The midfielder has enjoyed a stunning week, scoring against Brentford before registering mature displays in the middle of the park in wins against Barnsley and Nottingham Forest. With Aron Gunnarsson out you feel Ralls has a pivotal role to play in the future. James Maddison (Norwich City): After spells on loan with Coventry and Aberdeen, the England Under-21 international has stepped up in the Norwich first team this season. Operating in the No.10 role, he’s been a live-wire for Daniel Farke’s side of late,. What the managers have said Neil Warnock (Cardiff City): “You look at the (Norwich) team sheet and they’ve got good players, but we worry more about ourselves than opponents - we’re probably underdogs most of the time looking at team sheets. We just get on with it. If we get into the play-offs we’ve done remarkably well this year, I don’t get carried away with the lofty position we’re in.” Daniel Farke (Norwich): “I think, especially, we have to grow up more in our behaviour, to be more brutal in finishing situations but also in defending. When you have many injury problems and many experienced lads out, perhaps we are a bit too soft in our defending as well.” Probable teams: Cardiff (4-5-1): Etheridge; Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Bennett; Paterson, Ralls, Bryson, Damour, Hoilett; Ward. Norwich City (4-2-3-1): Gunn; Pinto, Hanley, Klose, Stiepermann; Reed, Vrancic, Pritchard, Maddison, Hoolahan; Oliveira. Referee: Andy Davies.
