2 Cardiff City team dilemmas facing Steve Morison ahead of Fulham clash

Cardiff City will be looking to continue their recent steady form on Saturday afternoon, when they host Fulham at The Cardiff City Stadium.

How to deal with Mitrovic?

At the other end of the pitch, Cardiff will of course, have a rather significant challenge when it comes to dealing with one of Fulham’s own strikers.

Wednesday night saw Aleksandar Mitrovic record his 32nd and 33rd league goals of the campaign, breaking the Championship’s scoring record for a single season, and he will surely be looking to further extend that tally this afternoon.
