Cardiff City boss Steve Morison: "They like to play football, play out from the back. They’ll enjoy coming to our place because the pitch is lovely, theirs isn’t the best at the minute.
"They'll see it's an opportunity to get at us because we haven't been great at home. We need to be on our mettle.
"I’d love to hear that noise the fans brought on Sunday [at Anfield]. It can push us on to the level we need to perform at. We need to make sure it’s not after the Lord Mayor’s show."
Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson: “Everybody was buoyed by the victory against QPR and the subsequent FA Cup draw, but the message to the players since then has been about what we have in the immediate future, which is a huge run of league games, starting with Cardiff on Wednesday evening.
"Our focus is on that game. Cardiff will probably feel that a win against us will create a big gap between them and the bottom three, but we know that a win for ourselves will haul them closer."
