Hello and welcome to our LIVE match commentary of the Premier League clash between Cardiff City and Liverpool at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Cardiff gave their survival chances a huge boost in midweek, by beating Brighton 2-0, the side who occupy 17th spot and they are now just three points behind the Seagulls. However, time is running out for the Bluebirds and they need to pick up something against title chasing Liverpool today.
Liverpool would move back to the top of the Premier League table with victory today, but Manchester City still have a game in hand. The Reds beat Chelsea 2-0 last time out in the league, followed by a 4-1 victory over Porto on Wednesday in the Champions League. In fact, they haven't lost a game since their 2-1 defeat against City at the start of January.
CARDIFF (4-1-4-1): Neil Etheridge; Lee Peltier, Sean Morrison, Bruno Ecuele Manga, Joe Bennett; Aron Gunnarsson; Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Joe Ralls, Victor Camarasa, Junior Hoilett; Oumar Niasse.
CARDIFF SUBS: Alex Smithies, Greg Cunningham, Leandro Bacuna, Kadeem Harris, Josh Murphy, Bobby Reid, Kenneth Zohore.
LIVERPOOL SUBS: Simon Mignolet, Joe Gomez, James Milner, Fabinho, Xherdan Shaqiri, Daniel Sturridge, Divock Origi.
LIVERPOOL (4-3-3): Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Virgil Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson; Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum, Naby Keita; Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino.
The teams are out at the Cardiff City Stadium and kick-off is just a few minutes away. Stay tuned for all of the match action!
Cardiff managed to create a good chance of their own, with Niasse forcing Alisson into a good save late on. Mendez-Laing has also been one to watch for the hosts, he has caused a lot of problems down the left wing with his electric pace. Both teams need to win here for different reasons, so it will be interesting to see how the second half turns out.
That's all from us today folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
Liverpool move back to the top of the Premier League, two points clear of Manchester City, but they still need City to drop points somewhere down the line as they have a game in hand. The Reds will welcome Huddersfield to Anfield next on Friday night. Meanwhile Cardiff remain in the bottom three and they are three points adrift of Brighton. They travel to Craven Cottage next weekend to face Fulham.
