Cardiff City welcome Leeds United this Sunday as the Championship restarts once again.
It is certain to be a tough test for the Bluebirds, going toe to toe against Marcelo Bielsa's table-topping side, but one they are certainly relishing.
Ahead of this weekend's match, we got the inside track from LeedsLive's Leeds United editor Joe Mewis to find out where City can hurt the Whites and what they think of the Bluebirds' promotion hopes.
Q. How big of a blow is it that Pablo Hernandez is out?
Hernandez is the creative fulcrum of this team and any side in the division would miss a man of his talents.
The Spaniard always has something up his sleeve and Leeds will now have to look elsewhere if they need a moment of magic to unlock the Cardiff defence if we see a tight, gritty match. Replacing him behind the main striker is likely to be Tyler Roberts, who has been trending up in recent times.
He came off the bench to score a brace in Leeds' last away game way back in February and plenty of his teammates we have spoken to recently have told us how sharp he is looking in training since the squad returned to Thorp Arch.
Q. Marcelo Bielsa has said the 3-3 before Christmas played on his mind for months, how much of a psychological factor will that play?
With there being are so many narratives at play this weekend, I dare say the lingering effects of the pre-Christmas match might get somewhat lost, which should benefit Leeds.
While that second-half implosion did bring about an almighty rough patch in Leeds' season, they were well and truly back on track when the league was suspended, boasting five straight wins without conceding a goal, which helped put that game to bed.
The fact there will be no fans to remind Leeds of that December afternoon in place will also help.
Q. Where are Leeds' weaknesses? I.e. where can Cardiff hurt them?
The two major weaknesses this season have been set pieces and an inability to finish off chances.
Illan Meslier will be making his third Championship appearance in goal for Leeds this weekend, so he may be targeted by the Bluebirds attack.
It's tough to know what the layoff will have done for Patrick Bamford's sharpness in front of goal, with his strike in the last match against Huddersfield his first for nine games.
Leeds were hoping that January signing Jean-Kevin Augustin would be fit enough now to provide another option up front, but he is still absent.
Q. Where will the game be won and lost, do you think?
Given the circumstances, Leeds' counter attacking prowess could be key.
Bielsa's defence was water-tight before the break and you'd expect his side to be one of the fittest on the resumption of the season.
The devastating breakaway speed can be the undoing of tiring teams, so expect Leeds to make this count.
Q. Who are the players Cardiff should be wary of?
It's hard to know if form will carry over from early March, but if it does, watch out for Luke Ayling, who was a menace attacking from right-back and has scored three goals in Leeds' last five games.
Ben White has been one of the best defenders in the league this season, but Cardiff have to get past the excellent Kalvin Phillips first if they are to trouble him.
Jack Harrison can provide some of the attacking sparkle in Hernandez's absence and don't be surprised if Roberts impresses in the former Swansea man's place.
Q. Are there any Cardiff players you think Leeds will be wary of?
Lee Tomlin looks to have gone up a gear under Harris, so all eyes will be on his duel with Kalvin Phillips.
Q. What are your thoughts on Cardiff City's promotion hopes? Can they break into the top six?
It's going to be tough for anyone to break into the top six. Preston are the ones looking over their shoulders, but Alex Neil has enough about him to keep their rivals at bay.
I think the top six is just beyond the Bluebirds.
Q. Your score prediction?
Predicting Championship matches is hard at the best of times, but after a 16-week stoppage, who knows what will happen?
I'll predict a tight affair with Leeds' fitness coming through in a 2-1 win for Bielsa's men.
