There probably have not been many bigger meetings between Cardiff City and Stoke City.
A victory for the Welshmen could condemn the Potters to a place in the relegation zone but Stoke also have the chance to put some breathing space between themselves and the bottom three.
Cardiff City are unbeaten across their past nine league games against Stoke City (W3 D6), winning this exact fixture 2-1 at home last season.
Stoke City have failed to win any of their past six away league games against Cardiff City (D3 L3) since a 1-0 victory in August 2007.
