CARDIFF City host a struggling Barnsley side tonight in a game that could see the Bluebirds close the gap on league leaders Wolves to just three points.<\/span>

\nBoth sides had their weekend fixtures called off, and Cardiff’s trip to Brentford and Barnsley’s home date with Norwich City have been rescheduled for Tuesday 13 March.<\/span>
\nCardiff manager Neil Warnock will be aware of the importance of a big win tonight to put pressure on Championship rivals Wolves, who do not play until tomorrow night, as they travel to Leeds.<\/span>
\nLowly Barnsley will be heavy underdogs for this match as they sit just one place outside the relegation zone in the EFL Championship.<\/span>
\nHowever their form has appeared to turn since the arrival of their new coach, Jose Morais.<\/span>
\nThe Portuguese has picked up four points from his first two away games as Barnsley manager and anything from tonight’s match will be massive for their survival chances.<\/span>
\nWhen the two teams faced off in November last year the Bluebirds came away with a 1-0 win with Callum Paterson scoring the only goal of the game in the 83rd minute.<\/span>
\nCardiff hope Paterson can return from injury in time for tonight’s game but skipper Sean Morrison remains a doubt.<\/span>
\nBarnsley defender Ethan Pinnock may be back for the first time since January following a broken bone in his foot.<\/span>
\nAdam Jackson will not return for the away side until the weekend as per Football Association concussion protocol after being knocked unconscious during last Tuesday<\/span>\u2019s 1-1 draw against Hull.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
