The Cardiff v Swansea derby is live on Sky Sports this weekend and has got me thinking about some of the great Welsh players to have played in the Premier League.
Vital
An old team-mate of mine,
Craig Bellamy, will be hoping to play for Cardiff on Sunday and if he does, you can be sure that he will bring work-rate and be someone for his side, which features many players just starting their Premier League careers, to look up to.
Craig has been used sparingly this season, probably because of his age and the injuries he has had in the past, but he will be vital this year, both on the pitch and with the things he says and the example he sets off it.
Sunday's game will be fantastic because you always want something new to watch and talk about and the first South Wales derby in the Premier League, which I'm sure will be spicy, gives us that.
You get the feeling that it is going to be tight for Cardiff in terms of staying up but they have got some good results, most notably at home to Manchester City, so will fancy their chances in this game.
Swansea, meanwhile, have probably struggled with Thursday-Sunday football - as we saw with Newcastle last season - but they play great football and I'm sure they will improve once the Europa League group stage is out of the way.
I am really looking forward to the match but whatever happens, I think Cardiff and Swansea will be in the Premier League next season.
