    It's a half chance for Cardiff as Jamilu Collins drills the ball into the Swansea box, and Carl Rushworth can only palm it into the path of Ike Ugbo who can't adjust in time to prod into the net.

    Aaron Ramsey, as you'd expect, has been a lively figure in this contest early on.

    Cardiff manager Erol Bulut endeared himself to the club's fans by drinking with them in a pub in the Welsh capital this week.

    You can tell he's popular among the Bluebirds faithful only a couple of months into his reign, and he's just had a chant of "Erol Bulut's barmy army" from them here at Cardiff City Stadium.

    Mark McGuinness is very good in the air.

    He will win his fair share up against Pedersen.

    Arsenal loanee Charlie Patino goes off for some treatment after taking a knock to the head.

    He's being patched up by Swansea's medical staff near the dugout.

    Aaron Ramsey threads a slick pass through to Ike Ugbo who fires straight at Carl Rushworth.

    The offside flag was up anyway.

    I think the midfield is going to be a key area tonight.

    Jamal Lowe does well on the right wing, and his cross is turned behind for a corner.

    It's taken by Charlie Patino, but Cardiff manage to clear.

    Patino gets a second bite of the cherry and crosses towards Harry Darling, but Jak Alnwick punches the ball to safety.

    Jerry Yates has probably been starved of a bit of service so far this season if I'll be completely honest.

    Cardiff get their first chance to attack following a foul from Kristian Pedersen, but Mark McGuinness can only head straight at Swansea goalkeeper Carl Rushworth.

    Jerry Yates is bundled over by Mark McGuinness.

    Matt Grimes delivers the resulting free-kick into the Cardiff box, but the hosts clear.

    No real chances in this one yet.

    I like what I'm seeing from Cardiff so far

    Cardiff 0-0 Swansea

    Manolis Siopis loses the ball cheaply in midfield, but Josh Key can't capitalise.

    The pattern of the early stages is very different to what we've seen in this fixture over the last two seasons.

    The noise is as incredible as ever, mind.

    It's buzzing inside Cardiff City Stadium, which is full to the brim, save for the sections cordoned off between both sets off fans.

    There's something extra special about a derby played under the lights.

    A scrappy start to this one in what is a wild atmosphere.

    Manolis Siopis tries to play Perry Ng through on the right but it's out for a Swansea goal-kick.

  17. KICK-OFFpublished at 1 min

    Cardiff 0-0 Swansea

    A late change to the Swansea team as Joe Allen has suffered a groin injury during the warm-up.

    He's been replaced by Jay Fulton. Mykola Kuharevich is on the bench in place of Fulton.

    What an atmosphere here in Cardiff.

    We're underway!

    Ben Cabango knows exactly what this game is about - he's already had a taste of scoring in this fixture.

    A local lad, he grew up watching this fixture.

    I'm surprised he's been left out tonight.

    We both [Danny Gabbidon and I] looked at each other when we saw Ramsey versus Allen in midfield.

    It's a great appetite to a game like this.

    The most recent meeting between these two sides produced a five-goal thriller.

    Joel Piroe and Liam Cullen both netted to put the Swans in command at Cardiff City Stadium before goals from Jaden Philogene and Sory Kaba looked to have earned the Bluebirds a point.

    But Ben Cabango rifled home in the ninth minute of stoppage time to earn Russell Martin's men the most dramatic of derby victories.
