THIS MATCH IS A SWAN OFF

Grimes: Form counts for nothing in derby showdowns with Bluebirds

- IAN WINROW

CARDIFF V SWANSEA Championship: KO 7.45pm

MATT GRIMES insists Swansea's early-season struggles count for nothing ahead of tonight's South Wales derby showdown with Cardiff.

The Swans travel to face their fierce rivals still searching for a first win of the campaign.

But they go into the game on the back of a record-breaking run in this rivalry.

Two seasons ago Grimes skippered Swansea when they became the first of the two clubs to complete a league double in this fixture - and they did it again last term.

And after a testing start under new manager Michael Duff, this would be the ideal time to extend that winning streak.
