Manchester City vs Cardiff
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Etihad Stadium, Manchester
Date: Wednesday, April 3, 2019
Kick-off time: 7:45pm GMT
Manchester City will once again look to return to the summit of the Premier League when they host Cardiff on Wednesday night.
A late victory over Tottenham on Sunday saw Liverpool return to the top of English football in a title race that looks set to go right to the wire.
City eased to victory away to doomed Fulham on Saturday with Wednesday's opposition Cardiff still scrapping for their Premier League survival.
There is no guarantee Neil Warnock will have calmed down by the time kick-off rolls around after some big decisions went against his side in Sunday's narrow defeat to Chelsea.
Man City vs Cardiff team news and predicted line-ups
Sergio Aguero came off having scored one and provided another at Craven Cottage on Saturday with Pep Guardiola later explaining the striker "felt something" that prompted him to signal to the bench.
The Argentine missed training on Sunday as a result.
Kevin de Bruyne, Fernandinho, Vincent Kompany and Benjamin Mendy are all available after recent injury problems.
Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Gundogan, David Silva, Mahrez, Jesus, Sane
Cardiff XI: Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Manga, Bennett, Gunnarsson, Arter, Murphy, Camarasa, Hoillett, Zohore
Score prediction: Manchester City 2-0 Cardiff
Cardiff will be fired up after Sunday's unfortunate defeat to Chelsea but City, bolstered by the return of key players for the season run-in, surely won't waste the chance to move top again.
