THE PREDICTION
Cardiff's midweek shock win over then league-leaders West Brom could be as much about the Baggies' recent cup efforts, but it is a real boost nonetheless. This will be the second of three matches between these sides over a fortnight, with an FA Cup fourth round draw a good benchmark here.
