Two clubs at the very bottom of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Cardiff City and Fulham. The relegation zone battle scheduled for 10:00 a.m. ET will be held at Cardiff City Stadium in Cardiff and can be live streamed here free.
Both clubs enter Week 29 looking for more favorable results. Cardiff City suffered a 1-0 loss to Tottenham just a week prior. The loss ensured that the Bluebirds—an ironic nickname considering they now wear red—stayed three points from safety. Despite winning promotion to the top-flight division last year, all signs are pointing for their return to the Championship.
Not to be outdone—and possibly joining them—is Fulham Football Club. The Cottagers have undergone a tremendous makeover in recent weeks, but the results have yet to partner up alongside it. The club fell 3-1 to Chelsea at Craven Cottage and are in serious danger of exiting the Premier League at season's end.
They sit at the very bottom of the table and just one point behind Sunday's opponent.
Both clubs are in desperate, desperate need of three points. A draw, coupled with other unfavorable results around the league, may secure they fate.
Will they both falter, or will someone carry hope into Week 30? Tell us @SportsWN
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: One of the said changes made by Fulham during the January transfer window was the purchase of striker Kostas Mitroglou. The Greek striker joined the London-based club on a transfer from Greek powerhouse Olympiakos. He is still in a state of transition. Given the dire straits his club currently faces, however, it's time to speed up that process. Fulham can ill-afford to drop more points.
Cardiff City's Projected Lineup 4-4-2: Marhsall; John, Turner, Caulker, Fabio; Zaha, Medel, Mutch, Bellamy; Jones, Campbell
Fulham FC's Projected Lineup 4-2-3-1: Stekelenburg; Riise, Heltinga, Hangeland, Riether; Parker, Sidwell, Kasami, Holtby, Dejagah; Mitroglou
