Cardiff City will host Burnley at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday (October 1) afternoon in the Championship.
The Bluebirds have struggled to come alive this season and find themselves perilously close to the drop zone with less than a quarter of the season gone. They were beaten 1-0 by Huddersfield Town last time out. Cardiff fell behind in the opening ten minutes and failed to muster a response despite dominating possession.
Cardiff are 18th in the standings with 11 points from ten games. They will now look to shake off their latest result and get their campaign back on track this weekend.
Burnley, meanwhile, have been largely solid under Vincent Kompany and have begun an early push for a Premier League return. After back-to-back draws, the Clarets returned to winning ways. They beat Bristol City 2-1 at home, thanks to goals from Manuel Benson and Jay Rodriguez, with the former opening his account for the club.
The visitors are fourth in the league standings with 17 points and will look to add to that tally this Saturday.
