Good afternoon everyone. You're joining me for a clash of the moveable objects this afternoon, and a big one it is too. Hosts Cardiff have won just once in their last nine, and come into this one on the back of a grim 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace. West Brom had their own horror show last week, going down at home to Norwich by the same score, and have lost their last three. 16th plays 15th, and if either team loses it could find itself plunged into the relegation zone.

What a big win for the Bluebirds. Huge for them and Malky Mackay - but there'll be concern for West Brom, who didn't really get going today and have now lost four on the trot. Thanks for joining me and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
90+5'
That's it! Howard Webb blows his whistle and Cardiff win 1-0!
90+3
Sessegnon's cross is blocked by Taylor and spins into Marshall's grasp. Then Myhill races out of goal at the other end, and has to boot out of play.
90+2
Kim makes great inroads for Cardiff on the counter and heads for the corner flag, before Mulumbu hunts him down and sets West Brom going again. The ball ends up with Sessegnon, who shoots well wide.
90+1'
Four minutes of stoppage time to be played, which commence with Ridgewell overhitting a cross for a throw-in.
90'
Noone is alert again to clear Brunt's ball in, and Marshall gathers the second ball.
89'
First of all, Odemwingie is replaced by Kim....
89'
It's a siege here now - Cardiff cannot get it out. Mutch fouls Mulumbu, and WBA have another free kick in a good area.
88'
Final change for West Brom. Long is replaced by Matej Vydra.
88'
Berahino takes a bit of a slash from an angle, and it's harmlessly into the side netting.
87'
Medel is replaced by Aron Gunnarson for Cardiff.
86'
What a save! Marshall seems to be going the other way as Long heads Berahino's cross back across him - but somehow arches back and tips wide. Crucial moment.
85'
Some patient passing again by West Brom, before Noone goes in bravely again to clear Jones' cross.
83'
The hosts have two men down - Noone and Theophile-Catherine - after both slid in to ensure Sinclair couldn't meet a low Long cross. Both seem ok now.
82'
First Cardiff change - a like for like one as Nicky Maynard replaces the tireless Fraizer Campbell.
81'
Long, who is still having to drop deep to be involved, is fouled by Turner. Brunt's ball is much better - McAuley heads it across at the back post, and somehow it evades everyone before dribbling out.
80'
Brunt's corner - not his first poor delivery of the day - is easy for Marshall.
80'
Cardiff dropping deeper now, and the pattern for this game's end stages may have been set. West Brom work the ball well down the right, and Medel has to head a Jones cross behind.
77'
First sighting of Berahino, but his shot - just deflected off Caulker, although this isn't spotted - floats over.
77'
Just seen a replay of that Olsson/Odemwingie penalty shout from earlier. The Swede certainly pulled the striker's shirt - both sides should have had a pen within a minute or so of each other.
