If you saw Cardiff against Newcastle you’d love them, they were dangerous on the counter and interesting to watch largely due to the industrious left winger Joshua Murphy.

It was a joy to watch identical twins Jacob and Josh square up in the second half as the former got off the bench after Isaac Hayden had been sent off for the Magpies.

Huddersfield were hapless against City, there was little they could do against a side that would do that to almost everyone in the league, six times they had to retrieve the ball from their gaping net as almost every attack troubled them.

Here’s a potential relegation six-pointer, most bookmakers fancy the two clubs to go down and with the way the Terriers have started this campaign; it won’t be long before they start preparing for life in the championship.

An ode must be due to Etheridge, Cardiff’s shot-stopper who denied Kennedy from the spot at the death, he won the point for them and he deserves a mention, should Huddersfield be handed a penalty in this fixture, they shouldn’t celebrate until they beat Etheridge.

Cardiff City have won every of their last four games against Huddersfield, something David Wagner must be wary of, just one consolation… Stats don’t play football.

Verdict: Cardiff to win or draw
