  1. Hello and welcome!

    Cardiff City v Birmingham City (12:30 BST)

    Welcome to the Cardiff City Stadium on what is a glorious day in south Wales.

    Cardiff City welcome Birmingham City to the Welsh capital this afternoon, with both teams looking to bounce back from midweek EFL cup defeats.

    Bluebirds boss Steve Morison gave squad players a chance to impress against Portsmouth, but they failed to shine and were well beaten by the League One side 3-0.

    Birmingham came from two goals down away at Championship promotion hopefuls Norwich but eventually lost on a penalty shootout.

    It is still very early days in the season and both sides will fancy their chances today. Let's start with a look at the teams.
