Cardiff City might consider the wounds suffered over recent weeks to have been self-inflicted, the departure of Iain Moody as chief scout unsettling Malky Mackay when he should have been savouring a promising start to his side's top-flight return. Chelsea have not lost at home to the Welsh club since 1981, yet José Mourinho still expects an awkward challenge. "They are motivated, they beat Manchester City, have already won away from home, and the boys who have come back from Chile and Iceland will be full of good feelings," he said. "Losing the scout is a problem for the owner, for Mackay, not the players".
