Kion Etete cannot continue and on comes Sory Kaba.

The Cardiff crowd chant Sory Kaba's name from the stands, not surprising giving his eight goals have made a huge difference in their survival this season.

Another Cardiff striker, Kion Etete, is currently down receiving treatment.

Joe Ralls almost puts Cardiff in real trouble as his clearing header only goes as far as Ibrahim Diarra inside the box, but the Huddersfield forward can not control the ball and the chance goes begging.

A few weeks ago, even a few days ago, this looked like a massive game for both clubs.

That's no longer the case for the hosts and now their Championship status is preserved, a few Bluebirds fans have clearly decided not to bother today and are watching the game on TV.

There is a good following from the away side, it's obviously a massive afternoon for Hudderfield.

Matty Pearson gives Sheyi Ojo the old 'let them know you're there early' sort of tackle in the centre circle.

Cardiff have the free-kick and are growing into the contest.

Lee Nicholls gets his first touch after returning from a shoulder injury.

The Huddersfield keeper suffered a nasty injury on New Year's Day against Luton and required surgery.

The travelling fans have welcomed him back with a big applause.

Cardiff finally have their foot on the ball, and a lovely backheel flick from Kion Etete released Mahlon Romeo down the right near the Huddersfield corner flag.

Romeo looks for Jaden Philogene but the winger has just strayed offside.

It's been a really lively start from Huddersfield who are showing their intentions right from the get-go.

Cardiff haven't got into their rhythm yet.

Huddersfield are by far the brighter of the two teams right now.

Josh Koroma is the latest player to work into the Cardiff box but this time the blue shirts get back and clear the danger.

Good start from Huddersfield who need to win the game today.

A huge chance for Huddersfield early on here.

It was former Cardiff City Danny Ward who arrived late in the box after a great run down the left from Jaheim Headley.

Jak Alnwick does well to parry the shot away though.

Positive start for the visitors.

Cardiff should be getting into rhythm quite early on as there's no pressure on them which makes for an exciting fixture for me.

I think Cardiff City will go on and win the game today.

Michael Salisbury blows his whistle and Cardiff midfielder Ryan Wintle gets us underway.

For Ralls to have played that many games shows a real level of professionalism. When he plays well, Cardiff play well.

It's been a real, real hard season to bear for Cardiff City fans.

Things haven't been good over the last few seasons but they've managed to secure Championship status at least.

While Cardiff played on Thursday evening in Rotherham, it has been almost two weeks since Huddersfield's last game.

The Bluebirds got revenge over Rotherham after the original fixture was abandoned, as Cedric Kipre scored late on to seal a 2-1 win.

While Huddersfield - if you can remember that far back - came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at Sunderland.

Can Neil Warnock guide the Terriers towards another valuable away point, or even three, this afternoon?

Kick-off is just minutes away!

At the youthful age of 74, Neil Warnock is back at the Cardiff City Stadium but this time in the away dugout.

Warnock was appointed Bluebirds manager in October 2016 and steered them comfortably away from relegation after a dreadful start to the campaign.

In the next season Cardiff went one better, and sealed promotion to the Premier League - Warnock's record eighth promotion.

After leaving the Bluebirds, Warnock enjoyed a short spell as Middlesbrough boss before announcing his retirement in April last year.

But 10 months later he was back, and back at the club he had first taken charge of 30 years previous.

When Warnock arrived Huddersfield found themselves in 23rd place, just one point off the bottom of the table.

They are far from safe still, but the Terriers are in a far better position now than they were when the wily veteran arrived.
