    The big men come forward for yet another Cardiff corner.

    Once again the hosts win the header, but this time Curtis Nelson's effort bounces into the arms of Daniel Bentley.

    How many more set-pieces can Bristol City get away with conceding, you wonder.

    Another Cardiff corner causes problems, as Marlon Pack meets Harry Wilson's delivery with a near-post header which drifts harmlessly across the face of goal.

    Kieffer Moore just wrapped himself around the post like a pretzel.

    That must have really, really hurt.

    Leandro Bacuna drills a dipping shot goalwards from outside the box and Daniel Bentley shovels the ball to safety.

    From the corner which follows, Kieffer Moore finds space and time but heads wastefully over.

    Little to report on the field, so I'd like to lift the gloom with a topical, cultural reference.

    Unfortunately I don't think I can Trump my Ned Stark post, but I might just be Biden my time with it?

    I'll get my coat.

    Joe Ralls whips in a cross from the left which looks dangerous but Robins defender Zak Vyner does well, making an acrobatic clearance.

    Tomas Kalas bundles Kieffer Moore over as Cardiff look to counter.

    Moore, as so often, has been a handful so far.

    Joe Bennett crosses towards Kieffer Moore, but this one is easy for Daniel Bentley.

    Good news for Cardiff - Junior Hoilett appears okay and can continue.

    Now the Bluebirds need to find a way back into this game.

    A worry for Neil Harris as Junior Hoilett, a scorer against Barnsley in midweek, goes down after chasing a through ball.

    Cardiff 0-1 Bristol City

    Harry Wilson flicks the ball smartly to Kieffer Moore, who uses his strength to send Sheyi Ojo scampering down the right.

    He is surely tripped just outside the box, but the officials give nothing.

    That's a bit more like what we have come to expect from Harry Wilson.

    He takes aim from outside the box and a sweet strike flies narrowly over.

    Junior Hoilett pulls the ball back towards Kieffer Moore - who is busy up front for Cardiff - but Tomas Kalas gets across to clear in the nick of time.

    Cardiff 0-1 Bristol City

    A ball over the top towards Kieffer Moore drops to Harry Wilson.

    This time the opportunity is on his weaker right side, and again his effort is well off target.

    Bristol City won't want to give Wilson too many more sights of goal, though.

    Cardiff can't get into this one.

    Slow starts are becoming a habit and the visitors are pushing and probing.

    Worrying for Bluebirds fans.

    More good play from the Robins ends with the offside flag stopping Chris Martin in his tracks, but Dean Holden will be well pleased with what he has seen from his team so far.

    A neat move from the visitors comes to nothing as Callum O'Dowda's ball into the box is cleared.

    Cardiff 0-1 Bristol City

    A chance goes begging for Cardiff.

    Sheyi Ojo feeds Joe Bennett and his cross finds Harry Wilson in space, but the ball bounces awkwardly and the on-loan Liverpool man slices his shot up in the air.

    Cardiff are improving a little here after that poor start, although Bristol City are doing a decent job of keeping possession when they get it.
