Home form will be imperative if the Red Dragons are to avoid the drop, says
former England man
Cardiff City begin their crucial home Premier League campaign this afternoon
with a mouthwatering clash against my tip for the title, Manchester City.
Having already changed their club colours and badge to red and black, Malky Mackay’s men will not want to alter their dominance at the Cardiff City Stadium, where 51 of 87 points gained last year helped steer the Welshmen into the Premier League.
Conversely, new City boss Manuel Pellegrini will himself hope for better away from the Etihad , as points lost on their travels last season undoubtedly cost City dearly.
It was extremely comfortable on Monday night as Newcastle were easily dispatched with - Vincent Kompany’s injury the only blemish for the blue half of Manchester.
While Cardiff should not be judged on results against the top four, any kind of win would certainly kick-start their survival campaign.
Pellegrini will need all of his engineering skills to fix City’s fragility at the back.
But with Edin Dzeko looking like a different player from last season, it should be victory No.2 for Manchester City.
