"Aggressive, front-foot football" - The Inside Track on Cardiff City

Two divisions separated Cardiff City and Burnley last season, but this campaign five points divide the two sides, though not the way you might think.

It’s the Bluebirds who are the superior of the two sides at present, stealing a march thanks to some solid early-season form on their Championship return.

The last time these two sides shared a division, Burnley were promoted and Cardiff were relegated, but the tables have turned now.

Brian Barry-Murphy, who was linked with the Burnley job in the summer, is something of an unknown quantity - or will at least be to most Clarets supporters - so we caught up with Si from Cardiff City World to find out more about what to expect from the Welsh side.
