Match Preview
Cardiff showed no signs of a post-promotion hangover on Wednesday as they condemned Port Vale to relegation with a 1-0 home win, courtesy of Rubin Colwill's late winner. The Bluebirds are now unbeaten in six and have won three of their last four League One contests.
Northampton's miserable end to the season continued in gameweek 44 as the Cobblers were beaten 3-1 on home soil by an improving Doncaster side. Saturday's visitors have suffered eight straight league defeats as they travel to Wales this time out.
