Preston boss Darren Ferguson admits his side face a huge task when they travel to high-flying Cardiff this weekend.
North End have endured a dreadful campaign and have won only four of their 19 matches this season.
Ferguson said: "Cardiff going forward - Chris Burke, Michael Chopra, Jay Bothroyd and Craig Bellamy - it kind of rolls off the tongue that one.
"They have got some very, very good players."
