Defeat at West Ham was not the best way for Cardiff City to prepare for the visit of Manuel Pellegrini's Manchester City, who beat Newcastle in the opening weekend's most impressive display. Yet a concern for the Chilean is his defence, where Vincent Kompany's groin injury leaves Joleon Lescott is the only match-fit centre-back. Saying that, most of the action should be at the other end of the pitch anyway, where Jesus Navas's blistering pace should help City to a successive win. Jamie Jackson
