Preview: Cardiff City vs. Arsenal

Sports Mole previews Arsenal's trip to Cardiff City on Saturday afternoon.

Arsenal will be looking to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League when they travel to Cardiff City on Saturday.

Arsene Wenger's men sit four points clear of Liverpool and Chelsea following their victory over Southampton last weekend.

Cardiff manager Malky Mackay will be encouraged by his side's 2-2 draw against Manchester United last time out, which moved the club three points clear of the relegation zone.

Arsenal come into the match off the back of their 2-0 victory over Marseille in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Kim Bo-Kyung and Craig Bellamy could both start for Cardiff after the pair were named amongst the substitutes last week.

For Arsenal, Jack Wilshere is expected to retain his place in the side following his brace against Marseille. Kieran Gibbs, Santi Cazorla and Theo Walcott are also pushing for starts.
