Swansea v Cardiff Sunday 25 Aug 15:00
It’s the big game of the season with Swans tickets already sold out, but Cardiff struggling to sell their allocation.
It seems a bit early in the season for this one and not the usual early kick-off time.
Cardiff have lost their opening two games and failed to score. Swans have won one and lost one.
Derbies are great levellers and it’s who makes the breakthrough on the day that counts, form goes out of the window.
Both teams have lost their centre-backs, Mark McGuiness, Cardiff to Luton and Nathan Wood, Swansea to Southampton.
After shedding 13 players including loans out, Swans squad are looking pretty thin. They have signed four players and another two players imminent. With Fisher injured Swans have no experienced back-up goalkeeper so this is the next priority with only nine days left of the transfer window.
The good news today is that Joe Allen is fit again after a hamstring injury and is available for Sunday.
May the best team win.
