Sunday morning preview

Last updated : 29 December 2002 By Michael Morris
Persistent rain in Cardiff this morning will mean a wet Ninian Park this afternoon. It has been rumoured that City will welcome back Gary Croft into the starting line up and Jason Bowen. Out are Kav suspended and Andy Campbell on the bench.

The line up is thought to be

Alexander, Weston, Prior, Barker, Croft, Boland, Fan, Legg, Bowen, Thorne, Earnshaw.

It's not confirmed but Barker will play centre half with Prior, Croft at left back. Bowen will either play right wing of a 4 - 4 - 2 with Fan and Boland in the middle or he will play as the third front man in a 4 - 4 - 3. Either way Lennie has made some bold changes as City look to start the second half of the season with a bang.

City can reclaim second place but would have to win by 7 goals.

In todays other game Crewe take on Oldham. Crewe are 2 points behind City, Oldham 3. A draw will do nicely in that game.

For Cardiff it's simple enough. 3 points is all that matters.
