The local derby won’t be the same without the fans today but the players will know what’s at stake, with fans pride and bragging rights on the line.
Both sides are in form but it will count for nothing, the winning team will be the one best able to hold their nerve and play their normal game.
Cardiff have won their last four games conceding only one goal, Swansea have the tightest defence in the division and are 4 points better off.
Swansea have the silky skills of leading scorer Andre Ayew, Cardiff have the aerial prowess of 6’5” giant forward Kieffer Moore.
Swansea will make a late decision on whether injured defenders Bennett and Guehi can play.
Cardiff’s expensive loanee, Liverpool midfielder Harry Wilson, is doubtful with an arm injury.
A tight game is on the cards and a draw or a win by the odd goal from either side is the predictable outcome.
