Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay has said that the Bluesbirds must take one game at a time as they enter the final stretch, starting at Birmingham City.

The Scot, whose side are level on points with this afternoon's opponents, has led the Welsh outfit within a point of the top six places in the Championship. However, despite their success on the road this season, he insists that Birmingham will still prove a tough test.

"This game against Birmingham is as important as the seven games that come after it," he said.

"That's what we're looking at and that's what we have to look at going forward. It's no less or more important than those.

"At West Ham, Southampton and Brighton earlier this season we've done well. But St. Andrew's is going to be a tough, tough game."

The Bluebirds can move as high as fourth place in the Championship with a win.
