Southampton travel to Wales to take on Cardiff in their first match under new manager, Ralph Hasenhuttl, in a mid-season six-pointer.

The club seems to have a new found motivation and sense of confidence and will look to take advantage of playing another side in Cardiff, who are in the bottom of the table, after facing two of the big boys in their previous matches.

Cardiff come into the match in 16th, two points above Southampton. They have to face a newly appointed manager in Ralph Hasenhuttl and a freshly motivated team that is ready to impress their new manager.

Here are the key players for Cardiff and why the Saints will have to be mindful of them.
