It is now or never territory for Cardiff. Last Saturday’s disappointing 1-0 defeat away against Fulham, followed by Brighton’s draw with Newcastle later in the day, means that Neil Warnock’s side have to win their final two matches to have any chance of staying up. That seems like a tall order, especially with a trip to Old Trafford to come on the final day. Palace, who are safely ensconced in mid-table, will be awkward opponents themselves, with Roy Hodgson’s side winning four of their past five away matches. Stuart James
