City leaving it late to decide on Craig Bellamy

Last updated : 17 May 2011 By Michael Morris

Dave Jones has concerns over the keepers. Will Tom heaton be fit or does Stepehen Bywater start. Paul Quinn is a doubt. Could Mark Hudson return?

Jones shuffled the pack at Reading and came away with a goalless draw. He might need to shuffle again this evening with Michael Chopra ready to partner Bothroyd if Bellamy does not start.

Jay Bothroyd is talking the right talk ahead of the game.

"We are confident we can see the job through and, with a packed crowd at Cardiff City Stadium, we know the atmosphere is going to be intimidating," Bothroyd said.

"We feel we can beat anyone at home and with the exception of the Middlesbrough game a few weeks back we've been playing really well over the past couple of months.

"Our supporters are always brilliant and they can play a massive role. They've been terrific this season and they know we'll be out there tonight giving as much as we can give.

"Hopefully we can all pull together to achieve the right result. The fans here want and deserve Premier League football and we're doing all we can to make that happen for them," Bothroyd says in tonight's match programme.
