Fabio implores Cardiff to bring something to the fight

Cardiff City defender Fabio has urged the team to fight hard for their Premier League survival.

The Bluebirds are sitting 19th on the table, a point ahead of bottom-placed Fulham, with just eight fixtures remaining.

This weekend, Cardiff host second-placed Liverpool and Brazilian full-back Fabio has called for a fighting performance from his teammates.

"What we all have to ask ourselves individually is, 'what can we bring to the fight'?" he told the South Wales Echo.

"We have to give our all as individuals and as a team to ensure we stay in the Premier League. It doesn't matter who we are playing against when it gets to this stage.

"We need points and every match is an opportunity. We must not look too far ahead.

"Survival will mean us picking up points here and there, game by game. It's an important factor to treat things that way.

"People will talk about 'six-pointers', but every game from now until the end of this season is going to be massive."
