What the managers are saying

Manuel Pellegrini (West Ham): If we have our minds focused on Cardiff, it will be an important advance. To win three more points is what we must do here at home.One of the most important mistakes you can do is to think that because a team is in a bad position in the table it will be an easy game. The best games we played here were against Chelsea and Manchester United.I hope we are conscious about that against Cardiff. I hope we give maximum of our pace and quality to have three points more and after that to think of the next rival.Neil Warnock (Cardiff): I think Rafa Benitez made the point that you have 45million players, they [West Ham] have a very good front four. Wed have any of them. We have to go there and compete. Its important were strong and organised to start with.Neil Warnock celebrated his 70th birthday on Saturday3
