Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Cardiff City and Chelsea. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at Cardiff City Stadium in Cardiff and can be live streamed here free.
Cardiff City's dreams of being a top-flight club came to an abrupt end in 2014. After one season in England's first division, the Welsh club will return to the Championship. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is determined to make an immediate return (h/t to the Guardian). "As a manager at any level, you need time to gel a team," said the former Manchester United striker
"I came in the middle of the season knowing we needed results straight away, but although we've improved and developed, we've not got them. I've only worked with the team for four months, but now we'll get more time to get used to each other and get better," he added.
"We have to plan to get back up into the Premier League straight away. The main thing is to be ready for August."
Will Cardiff's final Premier League match of the season be a memorable one—one that the supporters can rally around as they are relegated to the Championship? Tell us @SportsWN
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: There's no telling what the plan is Chelsea center-back and captain John Terry. The 33-year-old is in the final year of his contract and could very likely be seeing his final minutes with the Blues. Terry experienced a revitalizing season, averaging 6.6 clearances per match.
Cardiff City's Projected Lineup (4-1-4-1): Marshall; Fabio, Turner, Caulker, Catherine; Medel; Bellamy, Whittingham, Mutch, Zaha; Campbell
Chelsea's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Schwarzer; Azpilicueta, Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic; Luiz, Mikel, Matic; Schurrle, Ba, Willian
