Cardiff were well beaten by Liverpool last weekend after their win over Fulham the week previous, but they will be looking to get points on the board with fixtures against Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City all out of the way.

Player to watch
Ben Chilwell: The left-back continues to churn out performance after performance and he was once again the bright spark against West Ham. The Foxes struggled to get on the front foot for large parts of the game but the England international always seemed the most likely outlet for Leicester to get them going forward. He will be looking to cause more problems to a shaky Cardiff defence at the weekend.

Without further ado, off we go.
Jose Mourinho claims his touchline swearing was not offensive after being cleared of an FA charge for using foul or abusive language.
After coming from behind to beat Newcastle 3-2 late last month, amid a backdrop of uncertainty about his position, tensions boiled over at full-time as the 55-year-old made his way towards the tunnel.

The team news is in and for Manchester United there's a big name absentee.
Romelu Lukaku is not even in the squad for today's game with fit-again Alexis Sanchez starting ahead of Marcus Rashford.
