Former Bluebird Simon Haworth is serving a ban after two sendings off this season and former Swansea player and one time City target Jason Price is recovering from a broken arm so both players miss the televised league game this Saturday.
Cardiff go into the game with 4 straight home wins behind them. Tranmere with 6 straight league defeats. Tranmere won their opening fixture of the season away at Port Vale 4 - 1. Since then their away form has been nothing short of appalling. Oldham lost 2 - 0, Bristol City lost 2 - 0, Blackpool lost 3 - 0, Crewe lost 2 - 0, Mansfield lost 6 - 1 and Cheltenham they lost 1 - 0. Thats 16 goals conceded in 6 games.
While no game is "easy" Cardiff should be thinking about hitting Tranmere with all guns blazing becuase on away form they are the whipping boys.
Who's for a 0 - 0 then?
