Manager Omer Riza says Cardiff City won't prioritise next week's relegation showdown against Luton Town over Saturday's trip to Sunderland.

For Sunderland, then, Salech’s looming trip to Wearside poses an obvious problem, even in spite of the 17 league places that separate the Black Cats and Cardiff heading into the contest. For his new, and presumably grateful, manager, however, the 23-year-old’s stunning acclimatisation to life in the EFL must feel like a vindication.

Former striker Sam Parkin does not expect Sunderland to have too much difficulty in seeing off Cardiff City at the weekend. The post Sunderland Will Overcome Absences To Beat Cardiff City Says Ex-Striker appeared first on Inside Futbol | Latest Football News,

Cardiff City have lost four of their past five league games against Burnley (D1), as many defeats as across their prior 23 meetings with the Clarets combined (W8 D11). Burnley are unbeaten across their past eight league games against Cardiff City (W4 D4), since a 4-0 defeat in October 2012.
