Match Preview:

At the beginning of the season we were promised more Friday night games in the Premier League. Interestingly enough this hasn’t up until now materialised enough to make it normal viewing, but this week we will have two matches to look forward too. The first will be between Cardiff and Watford.

Neil Warnock’s side have improved in recent weeks and have won their last two games, however the club are still in 17^th place and just one point from the drop. The good news is that there is a strong team spirit within the camp, mostly due to the terrible news about Emiliano Sala and the players, coaching staff, and fans have really come together and it has shown on the pitch.

The club have beaten Southampton and Bournemouth and in each game they have been able to score at least 2 goals. The signs are encouraging.

Watford have 37 points and are in 8^th place and are having a very solid season. They have lost 1 game in their last five but have drawn some games too which has stopped them from claiming 7^th place.

The Hornets can still be unpredictable, last week they were solid in beating Everton but they have also failed to beat Brighton and Burnley when at home. Away from home their record is decent but it is worth remembering their recent record and they have won just 1 game in their past four.

Cardiff: Ashley Richards is still out with a lack of match fitness though me might be assessed for this game
