The promotion hopefuls came under scrutiny at the weekend after their Championship match at home to Leicester was postponed with the heating system at their new state-of-the-art stadium not yet fully functional.[LNB]But engineers finally resolved the problem on Monday and the playing surface has now thawed out completely, with Cardiff officials expecting possibly the highest Boxing Day attendance the club has seen in 40 years.[LNB]The game presents a great opportunity for the Bluebirds to consolidate their position in the top four, but manager Dave Jones is taking nothing for granted against the division's bottom team.[LNB]He told Cardiff's official website: "Every game we play is a difficult one, they've got a new manager in charge in Paul Mariner and they've brought in a new coach (John Carver). So they'll want to impress.[LNB]"They beat West Brom away - no side can go there and get a result and be a poor side. But at the moment somebody has to be near the bottom and they're the ones. We'll have to be at our best, as I've said every day."[LNB][LNB]
