Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage from the Cardiff City Stadium where Cardiff City entertain Southampton.

Rodriguez and Lallana are men in form. Can they convince Roy Hodgson though?

GOAL SOUTHAMPTON! 1-0 after a superb counter attack as Rodriguez taps in following a superb cross by Lallana. Lovely goal on the break.

JUST OVER FROM WHITTINGHAM! Fine cross from Noone and Whittingham was unmarked on the edge of the six-yard box but he mis-hit over! Should have been a goal!

Noone tries to buy a corner off the full-back but nothing doing.

Cardiff finally build an attack but Campbell can't reach the ball down the left and the visitors have a goal kick.

Saints have started well, putting the hosts under some early pressure.

The first half is underway!

FACT: Southampton have won only one of their previous 12 Premier League games played on December 26 (W1 D6 L5)

FACT: Cardiff have won the last five home league games against Saints, all by a one-goal margin.

Meanwhile, Mad Vinny bought FK Sarajevo yesterday, wiping out the Bosnian side's debt and setting up a partnership with Cardiff. Evidence that he should stick to business side of the game - it's a good deal for all those concerned, with Cardiff able to loan youngsters to a decent, technical league, while retaining first option on some of the best talent from Bosnia.

Cardiff fans staged a major protest outside their stadium today, against owner Vincent Tan, who is irritating most people involved in the club - and many who aren't - with his bizarre threats and behaviour.
