Perry Ng: Cardiff City eyeing derby clean sweep as Swansea City trip looms

Perry Ng has scored in both Cardiff City's wins over Bristol City this season
Perry Ng says Cardiff City are eyeing a derby clean sweep this season after Saturday's victory at Bristol City.
Ng's header secured a Severnside derby double after a 2-0 home win over the Robins in October.
The Bluebirds will go in search of a first ever league double over Swansea City in 13 days' time.
"We have won three derbies now - we'll be looking to complete the four," Ng said.
"We are excited. I think in the past we have been a bit naïve [in derbies], we have conceded sloppy goals.
"But [this season] we have been really solid, had good intensity and good shape, and we look tough to beat."
Cardiff ended a run of four successive defeats to Swansea with a 2-0 triumph over their fiercest rivals last September.
Swansea secured the first league double in the history of the south Wales derby in 2021-22, then repeated the feat last season.
Cardiff have given themselves a chance to redress the balance and, with a trip to Swansea on the horizon, Erol Bulut's side have found some momentum courtesy of successive Championship wins.
Having backed up their home win over Stoke with a determined display at Ashton Gate, Cardiff face home games against Huddersfield Town on Wednesday and Ipswich Town next Saturday before going to Swansea on 16 March.
"It's so important in this league to get back-to-back wins - what a difference it makes to the dressing room," Ng added.
"We have got Huddersfield at home on Wednesday and we'll be looking to win again.
"Who knows what can happen in this league. If we can get a few wins together, get momentum behind us, it can take us somewhere."
Ng is Cardiff's joint leading goalscorer this season, with six, after his second-half header saw off Bristol City.
Bulut's team are 11th in the Championship having taken seven points from their last three matches, a fine response after a run of five defeats in six league games.
"We have had a few tough weeks," Ng added.
"We have been better in the last two games but before that we were poor. So it was nice to come to Bristol City and give the fans something to shout about."
