Cardiff City meet struggling Sunderland in the Championship's early kick off, as Neil Warnock's men seek to end their four-match losing streak:

Cardiff have not done a Football League double over Sunderland since the 1970/71 season – the Bluebirds won 2-1 at the Stadium of Light earlier this term


Sunderland have won two of their last three away league trips to Cardiff (D1), with this their first Championship visit there since March 2007, a 1-0 win via a Ross Wallace goal.


Warnock has lost four of his five home league matches as manager against Sunderland – he won the other in September 2004 as Sheffield United boss.


Welshman Chris Coleman has managed eight Football League matches against Welsh sides and won none (D3 L5), with this his first since a 2-1 defeat to Cardiff in March 2010 as Coventry manager


Cardiff have lost their last four league matches, which is Warnock’s worst run as a manager since January 2009 when he was Crystal Palace boss (also a run of four) – he hasn’t lost five consecutively since August 1995 (one with Huddersfield, four with Plymouth).
