Cardiff City face a trip to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bluebirds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 18 and win only 4 of the 28 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2009, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a Championship match.
