Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock admits there's frustration as they face the prospect of relegation.

Ahead of their clash with Crystal Palace, the Bluebirds are four points behind Brighton in the battle to avoid the final ­relegation spot, but Chris Hughton's men are away to Arsenal ­on Sunday and end with a home game against Treble chasing Manchester City.

“We should have beaten ­Fulham last weekend, and I'm a little sad because one or two more points would have made things different," said Warnock. “Now we have to beat two teams in a tough league to stay up. We may have accepted this situation earlier in the season if you told us we would still be in the fight with two games to go.

“It would be nice to go to Old Trafford next week knowing we have to win to stay in the league - that's my one objective."
