TONIGHTS TEAM NAMED WITH RAMSEY:

Sat Sep 16, 2023 5:45 pm

Well, the headline for Cardiff is that Aaron Ramsey is passed fit to start the derby, after being brought off in the 49th minute in Wales' 2-0 win over Latvia on Monday.

He captains the side, because Joe Ralls is on the bench, with Erol Bulut instead preferring Ryan Wintle alongside Manolis Siopis. Yakou Meite and Karlan Grant get the nod on the wings, with Josh Bowler and Callum O'Dowda still not fit. Ike Ugbo comes in for Ollie Tanner to start up top.

Jak Alnwick is between the sticks, replacing Alex Runarsson.

It's five changes for Swansea City, with three players making their debuts. I say debut, but Jamal Lowe obviously knows all about this fixture, having scored twice for the Swans at this very ground.

This is his first outing since sealing his return to the club on deadline day, and he'll no doubt be relishing the chance to torment the Bluebirds once more.

Fellow deadline day signing Kristian Pedersen comes in too, presumably on the left side of a back three that also sees Harry Darling return to slot in alongside Nathan Wood.

Josh Tymon is the other debutant out wide on the left. Meanwhile, Joe Allen is the only other change from that wretched defeat to Bristol City.

Ben Cabango drops to the bench despite his previous derby day heroics, and will be joined by Ollie Cooper, Harrison Ashby and Liam Cullen.

Bashir Humphreys is also among the substitutes following his loan move from Chelsea. Kyle Naughton is ruled out after a recent knock.

Robinson comes on to score the winner. Cabango red card. My prediction

Ugbo wide right worries me a bit otherwise a predictable line up. Ralls can play an important role in the second half as will Robinson. Whoever plays we have to press for 90 minutes not sit off them. Come on City!

Early pressure by Swansea but easily handled by the Cardiff defence.
