Preview


Crystal Palace may hold a goal advantage from the first leg, but if that match at Selhurst Park has taught us anything, it’s that there is little to choose between these two Championship clubs.

In Malky Mackay and Dougie Freedman, they both have intelligent, enthusiastic and impressive up-and-coming Scottish managers. Neither may have graced a major final as a player before, but one of them will be prowling the Wembley touchline next month in the opposite dug-out to either of the highly-decorated Kenny Dalglish or Roberto Mancini.

Cardiff are looking to secure a third visit to the new Wembley Stadium in five years. Their previous two trips, under the management of former boss Dave Jones, both ended in defeat. They lost the 2008 FA Cup final 1-0 to Portsmouth, the second at the refurbished venue, and were beaten 3-2 by Blackpool in the 2009/10 Championship Play-Off final. Will they return in a third different competition just seven months into Malky Mackay’s tenure as boss?

Crystal Palace are on what captain Paddy McCarthy calls “a fantastic journey” after nearly going out of business a little over 18 months ago. He is one of several players still at the club who were not getting paid when Palace slipped into administration for the second time in 11 years. The Eagles were eventually saved by a consortium of four supporters (CP2010), headed by co-chairmen Steve Parrish and Martin Long.

Since then the club have gone from strength-to-strength and the unity and stability on show from boardroom level, right through to the fans, is arguably its biggest weapon. There’s a momentum and a steely determination about the 2011-12 Eagles, who finally look to be assigning recent troubled times to the history books.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head

Crystal Palace have never lost to Cardiff in six previous cup competitions, winning all five home matches and drawing their only away encounter.
Palace are yet to win on three previous visits to the Cardiff City Stadium (D2, L1), that defeat came last November as Kenny Miller and Peter Whittingham both scored in a 2-0 Bluebirds’ win in the Championship.
Miller’s strike that day ended Crystal Palace’s new club record run of 619 minutes (10-and-a-half-hours) without conceding a goal.

Cardiff City

Cardiff have qualified for the semi-finals of the Leage Cup for only the second time in their history, they were beaten 10-3 on aggregate by West Ham during the 1965/66 season.
The Bluebirds have won nine and drawn one of their last 10 League Cup matches on home soil.
Cardiff have only failed to score in four of 34 matches in all competitions this term; three times in the Championship and the first-leg defeat to Palace.

Crystal Palace

This is the Eagles’ fourth appearance in the last four of the League Cup and their first in 11 seasons.
Palace lost 5-1 on aggregate to Arsenal in 1993, 2-0 on aggregate to Liverpool in 1995 and 6-2 over two-legs to Liverpool in 2001; blowing a 2-1 first leg lead in the process.
The Eagles have won all six Carling Cup matches this season, and have not lost in eight, since the 2-0 reverse to Manchester City in the second round in August 2009.
Dougie Freedman’s side have conceded just three goals in their six League Cup matches this season and scored twice in every round, bar their 1-0 semi-final first leg victory.
