City's U21s are in Premier League Cup action on Thursday evening, hosting Watford.
The clash will take place on December 19th at Cardiff International Sports Campus, kicking off at 7pm.
The young Bluebirds, as well as the Hornets, are currently on four points, with both sides playing a game fewer than Everton and Ipswich Town, who have six points.
City have two group fixtures left, with a fixture against Everton to follow in February.
PRE-MATCH | MATTHEW BLOXHAM
“The boys, all season, have been excellent and it’s just about continuing to do what we’re good at. If we do that on Thursday, then we give ourselves a great opportunity to put ourselves on top of the Premier League Cup group.
"In our last game, we defended really well. Their late goal was a setback and initially we allowed it to affect us, we sat a little bit too deep at times, but once we corrected that, there's plenty of character in the group and plenty of leadership as well, that showed in the way we stopped QPR getting a second goal and we came out with the win."
PRE-MATCH | ADETEYE GBADEHAN
Midfielder Adeteye Gbadehan, who played his first 90 minutes since returning from injury last time out, added: "Watford is going to be a tough game. Especially given that it’s in the PL Cup, we want the win and need the win. We hope to get the three points and make it out of the group.
"Everyone on the team are looking to build as much as we can and improve every single day. As long as we keep winning games, we can hopefully continue our momentum."
