Cardiff boss Solskjaer fires warning at Swansea over Welsh battle

Cardiff City boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has warned Swansea City they're gunning for 'em.

Survival remains Cardiff's priority but Solskjaer sees no reason why the Bluebirds cannot finish ahead of their neighbours.

"Short-term it is important we start getting points. We have seven games against sides who are 10th and lower at home so we have a good chance of getting points and results," said the Norwegian.

"But the most important thing is we start getting performances again, then you have the long-term plan.

"I would like us to finish above Swansea. They've almost gone forward as a little bit of a role model, Southampton as well - they're the clubs I've looked at and seen what they've done over the last few years.

"But let's make sure we get above Swansea. I know that will be important for everyone here."
