Stoke City
Cardiff City and Stoke City take on each other at Cardiff City Stadium in the Championship round 37. The Bluebirds aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Watford, and seeing that they are seven points behind the playoff berth, this has to go down as a must-win game for the home team. The likes of Lee Tomlin, Isaac Vassell, Joe Bennett, and Joel Bagan are all sidelined through injuries, while Jordi Osei-Tutu is rated doubtful for the game.
The Potters, on the other hand, have been struggling to find their best form of late, with the team suffering four defeats in the previous five league fixtures. Stoke City experienced all sorts of problems at the back n a 3-0 loss to Middlesbrough, and given the importance of Tuesday’s clash for the Bluebirds, home win should be considered. Nathan Collins, James McClean, Tyrese Campbell, and Sam Clucas are injured for the visitors, while Morgan Fox is a major doubt.
