For the most part of the season, Cardiff City have been fighting an arduous battle which is now nearing its twilight zone. Whether the Blue Birds see the day or fall into the abyss of Championship depends on results. Positive results. Everything is clear; win games and avoid the drop. It’s as simple as that.

As things stand in the Premier League, Cardiff City are third from bottom having accumulated 28 points from 30 games. Burnley are a place above with two points more in their kitty. However, the point to be noted here is that the Clarets have played a game more than the Blue Birds.

The picture may be gloomy but manager Neil Warnock is optimistic that his team can avoid the drop.

We’re still putting the frighteners on one or two other teams. You forget where we were two years ago and you get carried away, but they keep fighting and coming back when everybody writes us off,” he said.

It’s good to be optimistic but Cardiff have to punch above their weights if they are to avoid the drop.

In addition, they must be prepared for the tough run-in as five of their remaining 8 games are away from home. And considering six of Cardiff’s 8 wins have come at home, the fight becomes even harder for them.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are fighting to get into the top-4. They are 6th with 3 points separating them from the champions league places.

It has been an inconsistent season for the 2016-17 English champions. They have picked up some big results, but the defeats against the so-called lowly teams have hurt the team the most.

The Blues did string together good results but the defeat to Everton last time around has put the pressure back on manager Maurizio Sarri who is once again feeling the heat.
