Same team as against West Ham please.
Yes I think I agree. We need to keep as settled a side as possible for the run in (although I expect a few changes for the no hope Man City game). Hopefully no injuries amongst thonse who started v West Ham.
2-1 Win for us - survival never in doubt!! Will be cheering on Wolvesalona tomorrow for the first time ever! XXXXXXX
Patterson out for season. ?
I'd take point from our next 2 games
Opta Stats:
- Cardiff have lost all three of their Premier League matches against Chelsea, with their only previous meeting at the Cardiff City Stadium coming in May 2014, losing 1-2.
- Chelsea have won seven of their last nine matches against Cardiff in all competitions (D1 L1), with their only defeat in this sequence coming at Ninian Park in the League Cup third round in October 1986 under John Hollins.
- Cardiff City have won 71% of their Premier League points this season in home games (20/28) - only Fulham have a higher percentage (88%).
- Chelsea have lost only one of their 17 Premier League games against Welsh opposition (W12 D4), losing 0-1 at Swansea City in April 2016 under Guus Hiddink.
- Cardiff have lost their last 16 Premier League games against the 'big six' sides, last avoiding defeat in November 2013, drawing 2-2 against Manchester United.
- Coming into this matchday, only Fulham (6) have lost more away Premier League games in 2019 than Chelsea, with the Blues losing four of their five games on the road so far.
- Chelsea have already lost against Wolves this season - they've not lost against two different promoted sides in a single Premier League season since 2012-13 (vs West Ham and Southampton).
- Neil Warnock has faced Chelsea four times at home in the top-flight, each time with a different club; he won in 1991-92 and 2010-11 (with Notts County and QPR respectively) and lost in 2006-07 and 2014-15 (with Sheffield United and Crystal Palace respectively).
- Chelsea's Eden Hazard has scored five Premier League goals in three appearances against Cardiff City, although all his goals have come at Stamford Bridge; no player has more Premier League goals against the Bluebirds than Hazard (Gerard Deulofeu and Luis Suárez also five).
- Chelsea's Gonzalo Higuain has scored three goals in his seven Premier League games so far, with all of them coming against teams in the relegation zone (2 vs Huddersfield, 1 vs Fulham).
I think we need something from this game to get some momentum going.
I’d like to see ken play with Niasse tomorrow at some point, and not replace him.
First game after a break we always seem to get our arses kicked. :hehe:
Cardiff 0 - 4 Chelsea
Hazard on the bench.
Hazard, Kante and Hudson Odoi all benched - surely we have a chance here...
City unchanged

Interesting changes for Chelsea but still some familiar faces.

Cardiff: Etheridge, Peltier, Bennett, Morrison, Manga, Arter, Murphy, Gunnarsson, Camarasa, Niasse, Hoilett

Come on you bloooobirds!
💪💪💪💪
It's now a MUST WIN game.
No pressure then :hehe:
We're doing alright here. Having said that, their keeper hasn't had anything to do yet.
nor ours
Referee is absolutely bloody shocking
The players are knackered , make a f@cking change
Disgusting from the officials today
Azpilicueta's so far offside he's in feckin Swansea
At risk of getting yet another ban, this is hilarious.
Two bad decisions, yes, but the defending for that second goal was criminal.
And Chelsea fans have been shut up good and proper too.
Wow.
Well done ref
Unacceptable refereeing. That may well cost Cardiff top flight football
Cheating English kents
Well done to the players for putting in a massive performance. Feck off ref, you've undone it all.
If somehow we find ourselves in this division next season we won't have these big club decisions going against us.

Its either cheating or incompetence
Completely robbed
I can't accuse the ref of deliberately favouring Chelsea but it's just sickening the way the big teams get the big decisions. There must be something ingrained in these refs. Perhaps because their too close to these players and teams. I don't know.
What a ****ing shambles the refereeing in this league is. Embarrassing.
How can you be so bad at your job that you miss that?
For once Neil's post match rant will be justified
I wonder if any of the anti-conspiracy theorists on here might rethink their stance after that. Come on lets be avin you :sherlock:
It was not just about the dreadful offside decision for their equaliser, the foul on Ken at 1-1.
Last man and a yellow.
VAR a season too late. The EPL owe us big time!
