Steven Caulker: 'Home form is vital for Cardiff City survival'

Cardiff City defender Steven Caulker has claimed that the team's home form is vital to their chances of staying in the Premier League.

The Bluebirds, who are currently in the relegation zone, have taken 15 points from their 12 matches at the Cardiff City Stadium this season.

They continue their battle for survival tonight with a home clash against Aston Villa.

"If we can win our seven remaining home games, we'll remain in the Premier League," Caulker told the club's official website.

"We've been speaking about starting more on the front foot and that's something we'll look to do on Tuesday.

"The manager made it clear that he wanted to play attacking football when he got the job and bit by bit we've picked it up."

Cardiff head into the game against Villa on the back of Saturday's 3-0 defeat at local rivals Swansea City.
