Cardiff 'need to improve' for Luton challenge

Brian Barry-Murphy feels Cardiff City's fixture at Luton Town on Saturday (12:30 BST) represents the perfect opportunity for his side to build on their impressive start to the season.

The Bluebirds are unbeaten under the Irishman having won at AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday to make it 10 points from four games in League One this term.

But that record will be put to the test as Cardiff lock horns with a Luton side who were playing Premier League football as recently as May 2024.

"I think it's a great follow-up game for us on the back of Wimbledon," he said.

"A tough game in a tough environment against a team that's very hard to play against in their own stadium.

"I've played at Kenilworth Road myself so I understand the uniqueness of it in English football.

"To go to that stadium against the supporters and the team is going to be a great challenge for us and hopefully we can produce a performance like we did on Tuesday and give ourselves a chance to win the game."

The Hatters have also enjoyed a strong start to the 2025-26 league campaign having won three of their first four fixtures after being relegated alongside Cardiff last season.

But Barry-Murphy is confident Cardiff can continue their improvement this weekend.

"We'll need to improve again on Saturday to give ourselves a chance to win the against a team of Luton's calibre," added Barry-Murphy.

"We believe we are capable of doing that. We've done a lot of work on Luton, we're clear on their strengths and we respect them.

"For us, the focus is to give ourselves a chance to play as well as we can to try and win the game."
