Follow live text commentary, score updates and match stats from the south Wales derby, Swansea City v Cardiff City, in the Championship.
This the earliest the derby has come in a season since 1957Honours were even last season, with both clubs winning their home derby 2-0
Swansea have won eight of the last 11, they've got to play with a little bit of arrogance today, as past meetings have gone Swansea have been the better team.Erol Bulut is trying but he's got to win. He's yet to put points on the board, yet to score, conceding and then coming in to a derby it's not ideal.
And then there will be the homegrown players, for whom a meeting with Cardiff has been the biggest fixture on the calendar ever since their days in Swansea’s academy. The striker from Kilgetty joined Swansea as an eight-year-old. He faced Cardiff on numerous occasions while emerging as a promising goalscorer in the Swans’ youth ranks.Our reporter Gareth Vincent, who has covered more SW derbies than than I've had hot dinners since my son was born, has been having a look.I think the exciting thing about the Swansea team, the wingers, Eom Ji-Sung, with the creative element he has and Ronald with the pace he has, he can change a game.
I don't need to tell you what a big game this is in these parts. The fact it is the only 'bubble' game still in existence in the English leagues probably speaks volumes.
