Cardiff City welcome Huddersfield Town to the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with the away side desperate for some points.
The Bluebirds were sent crashing out of the FA Cup, losing 1-0 to Gillingham last weekend, after losing to Tottenham a few days before.
Huddersfield's last Premier League match was at home to Burnley, but despite the Terriers taking an early lead, they went home with nothing from the Kirklees.
These sides played out a goalless stalemate earlier in the season, with the only thing worth noting being Jonathan Hogg's red card for the Terriers.

The Managers
Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock: "The (January transfer) window is a bit like climbing a mountain with butter on your hands.
"You get your hopes up and say 'yes, that's a done deal' and then the next day it's not a done deal."
Huddersfield Town head coach David Wagner: "Since I arrived I have had responsibility for this football club and this means not only the three years, but the last six weeks as well.
"They were not what we wanted or matched the ambitions I had, and I'm responsible for it.
"The longer you don't have the winning feeling, the more desperate you get.
"This is why this is a very important game for us. It's a game we have to win and it's a game which can affect our season massively."
