Cardiff interim boss Omer Riza respects the threat posed by Norwich City and Championship top scorer Borja Sainz.

The Bluebirds are unbeaten in five under their caretaker boss and have won three straight games on the bounce at home.

Cardiff’s new-found defensive resolve will be tested by the Canaries, especially with right back Perry Ng suspended.

“They’re a dangerous side,” said Riza, quoted on his club’s official site. “They play good football, they can open you up, have it down the sides or through the middle of the pitch, they counter very quickly and they’re decisive in their attacking approach.

“We’re going to have to be really good defensively, like we were against West Brom (0-0 away draw), but I definitely feel that we’re not going into the game thinking that we are underdogs, if you like. The way we’re performing at the moment, we’re going to go in like we want to win the game, which I’ve said in every game that we approach.

“Perry has been outstanding, obviously he is a big loss to us in this game.

“We are playing against probably one of the best wingers in the league at the moment in Sainz. He has scored 10 goals so far this year, is creative and causes problems. Perry would have dealt with that, but I think we will be fine.”
