Cardiff City v Preston North End Live: Kick-off time, team news and score updates

Cardiff City play host to Preston North End this afternoon in Championship action.

The Bluebirds got back to winning ways last week, beating Watford at Vicarage Road thanks to a sublime finish from loan man Josh Bowler. Sign up to our daily Cardiff City newsletter here.

The victory saw Erol Bulut's men reach 40 points and they remain just five points off the play-off spaces with the final third of the season still to go. Today's visitors also harbour promotion hopes and currently sit 10th - two points better off than City in 13th.

It promises to be a fascinating encounter between two sides looking up rather than down. As ever, we'll be with you every step of the way.

Kick off in the Welsh capital is at 3pm. Scroll down for live updates.
