Preview

Cardiff couldn't deal with promotion contenders Wolves at the weekend, conceding twice in the opening 15 minutes of a 3-0 away defeat at Molineux. The Bluebirds were unbeaten in three league outings before that heavy loss on the road.

West Ham travel to Wales looking to avenge back-to-back Championship defeats against West Brom and Southampton. The Hammers were unbeaten in nine league outings before those results but have now dropped to eighth in the standings.
