Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock says he won't field a weakened team against Manchester City tomorrow.

Warnock initially claimed he would play his U23 side against the champions after being aggrieved by the refereeing in the weekend's defeat to Chelsea.

“I won't field a weakened side against them don't worry and I'll make sure my lads are right up for this one," he told Wales Online.

“But I know what we've got," he added. “We've got a genuine bunch of lads, it was never a game where our expectations were (to win).

“But I don't think the Chelsea game wasn't one where anyone gave us much of a chance.

“The Under-23s? We haven't got enough unfortunately and none of the lads want to travel and play in that, so I'm going to have to stick to the first team!

“I think most of the lads want to play. West Ham was our best performance of the season and I thought that was topped against Chelsea.

“Now we have to lift it even more and try and give a respectable performance at Manchester City."
