Good afternoon and welcome to our live coverage of Cardiff City v Mansfield Town.
Brian Barry-Murphy’s side return to league action looking to strengthen their position at the top end of the table, but they do so without key midfielder Rubin Colwill, who has been ruled out for up to three months with an ankle injury.
Cardiff are back on home soil having won their last two league matches at Cardiff City Stadium. With the division tightly packed, another victory this afternoon would help maintain momentum heading into a busy festive period.
We’ll have the full team news as soon as it drops, match updates, reaction, analysis and everything you need throughout the afternoon. Stay with us for all the build-up and live action from Cardiff City Stadium.
Kick-off is at 3pm.
