Cardiff City boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ready for "huge" South Wales derby

Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists that this Saturday's clash against Swansea City is "more than just a derby".

Cardiff City manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has recognised that this Saturday's South Wales derby is a "huge game".

The former Manchester United player will experience his first clash against Swansea City since taking over the Bluebirds in January.

"You sense and know that this is more than just a derby," BBC Sport quotes Solskjaer as saying. "That's what football is about for me.

"It's important that we focus on ourselves and play our own football of course. You see that focus with the lads. It's a huge game for the supporters and everyone here. Preparations however have remained the same in training this week."

Cardiff are currently second from bottom in the Premier League table, while the Swans, who have Garry Monk in temporary charge, sit 12th.
