Brendan Rodgers predicts "difficult" Cardiff City test

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has predicted that his side will be given a "difficult" test on Saturday when they host Cardiff City in the Premier League.

The Merseysiders will go top of the table if they defeat the Bluebirds at Anfield.

However, Rodgers believes that the Welsh side will provide tough opposition during their encounter.

"We still have a lot of work to do," he told talkSPORT. "We have Cardiff next and that will be a really difficult game because Malky Mackay has done brilliant there in getting them organised and getting them promoted."

Liverpool head into the match on the back of last weekend's 5-0 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.
