It's a huge match at the bottom of the table, with 18th-place Cardiff City traveling to 14th-place Burnley on Saturday afternoon.
The Bluebirds are five points adrift of 17th-place Southampton and really need to start winning games if their hopes to stay up come true.
Burnley, however, won their last match against Bournemouth, allowing the Clarets a tiny bit of breathing space.
Cardiff narrowly lost out to Burnley in the reverse fixture this season, with three second-half goals - edged by the visitors in Wales.
TEAM NEWS
Burnley defender Phil Bardsley missed his team's victory over the Cherries after cutting his leg on a ping-pong table, and remains a doubt for Saturday's game.
Peter Crouch remains out for Burnley after surgery on his appendix, with Aaron Lennon and Steven Defour also out.
Cardiff don't have any fresh injury concerns, with long-term absentees Callum Paterson and Sol Bamba both sidelined still.
Alex Smithies, the Bluebirds' reserve 'keeper could make his return for the Under-23s later next week.
THE MANAGERS
Burnley manager Sean Dyche on whether three points will be enough to remain in the division: "You can't guarantee it because, like anyone, you want to work on facts, not maybes.
"I would suggest it (victory) would put us in a very strong position but we certainly won't take anything for granted until we've look after ourselves.
"We're on a very good run again, a very good turnover of points, but we've got to continue doing that because more points are needed and that's our intention."
Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock on Saturday's clash: "We've just got to concentrate on our own games.
"I think it's Brighton who we can catch, especially going there a few days after the Burnley game. If we can beat Burnley, we could haul them in, but we've really got to win three out of the four games against teams around us. That will stands us in great stead."
