MATCH PREVIEW
I remember driving across London on the August Bank Holiday weekend, listening to Tony Pulis providing co-commentary for BBC 5 Live as Cardiff defeated Manchester City in their first ever home match in the Premier League.
As a Welshman, the pride in his voice was obvious as Cardiff won 3-2 in a dramatic match. He was very good in the role, and I have had the pleasure of working with him a couple of times in his short spell away from management.
The media's loss is Palace's gain, and after an excellent win over West Ham on Tuesday, Pulis finds himself up against the club he was so delighted for on that August day.
Cardiff's one away victory this season came in the capital, at Fulham, at the end of September, thanks to a late Jordan Mutch goal. Since then it's just one win in eight for Malky Mackay's side, but they will certainly fancy their chances of returning home with all three points this weekend, despite Palace's improvement.
To do so, Cardiff will have to end their run of three away matches without a goal. Indeed, they've scored just three times - all at home - in their last six matches, although those goals did earn a draw against Manchester United and victory over Welsh rivals Swansea.
Cardiff start this match just above the relegation zone, with Palace now only four points behind them following their win over West Ham. Many pundits are predicting a draw, which seems a logical conclusion, yet since when has football been about logic?
One thing absolutely certain about this match is that the atmosphere will be intense. Selhurst Park with the floodlights on and both sets of fans in full voice is a great place to be.
