Cardiff vs Southampton LIVE - What time does it start, TV channel, team news, odds and prediction

Two points separate Cardiff and Southampton ahead of their clash on Saturday afternoon.

Neil Warnock’s team have grinded out crucial wins in the last few weeks against Wolves and Brighton, but lost 3-1 in midweek at West Ham; they come into this match in 16th place on 11 points.

This will be Southampton’s first match with new manager Ralph Hasenhuttl in charge, and he has some work to do with a team currently languishing in the relegation zone on nine points and without a win in 11 league matches. Follow the live action below.

Player to watch

Junior Hoilett: The Canadian scored a scintillating winner in Cardiff’s win against Wolves last week, his first goal of the season. The ex-QPR and Blackburn winger has revitalised his career in south Wales under Neil Warnock, and the 28-year-old is likely to be up against Cedric Soares on the left-hand side in a match both teams need to win.
