Good evening and welcome to the Evening Standard's LIVE coverage of Fulham vs Cardiff.

Scott Parker's side have one foot in the Championship playoff final after a 2-0 win in the Welsh capital on Monday night.

The prospect of an all-London showdown with Brentford at Wembley now awaits, but there is still work to be done tonight.

Date, time and venue

Fulham vs Cardiff is scheduled for a 7:45pm BST kick-off on Thursday, July 30, 2020.

The match will be behind closed doors at Craven Cottage with no fans present due to government guidelines regarding coronavirus.

Team news

Parker will hope that key star Mitrovic recovers from his knock in time for Thursday night's clash, with versatile winger Ivan Cavaleiro also still absent due to a hamstring injury.

Visitors Cardiff remain without striker Isaac Vassell.

How to watch

TV channel: The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football, and is available via Now TV with a day pass for £9.99, or a three-month pass on offer for £25.

Live stream: Sky Sports subscribers can stream the match online via SkyGo and the SkyGo app, with a mobile month pass available for £5.99.

Prediction: Fulham 2-1 Cardiff

Fulham showed no hangover whatsoever from failing to secure a top-two place on Sunday, scoring two excellent goals and completely controlling the game after taking the lead shortly after the interval.

The fact they did so without the league's number one marksman in Mitrovic is testament to the strong work Parker has done to keep confidence high in west London.

Fulham are unbeaten in their last eight matches now, while only champions Leeds United boast a stronger home record in the Championship in 2019/20.

Per the BBC, no team has ever turned around a two-goal first-leg deficit to win a Championship play-off semi-final tie, and that is unlikely to change here.
