Cardiff vs Chelsea
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Cardiff City Stadium
Date: Sunday, 31 March, 2019
Kick-off time: 2:05pm GMT
Cardiff welcome Chelsea to the Welsh capital this afternoon as they continue to scrap for their Premier League future.
The Bluebirds currently occupy the final relegation spot, sat five points adrift of Burnley and Southampton – but with two more games to play than Sean Dyche’s side.
After a huge victory over West Ham in front of their own fans last time out, Neil Warnock and his side will be looking for another big London scalp against Chelsea.
Defeat to Everton has left the Blues in sixth place with the race for a top four finish intensifying as the weeks go by.

Score prediction: Cardiff 1-1 Chelsea
Chelsea’s form on the road under Maurizio Sarri remains a worry having lost six times away from west London this term in the league.
Cardiff, buoyed by that win over West Ham in their last outing, will fancy their chances of getting something.
