Cardiff goalkeeper David Marshall believes he is facing the Premier League's best strike-force when Manchester City head to Wales on Sunday.
If they are to get anything out of City's visit to the Cardiff City Stadium, the hosts will need to show a vast improvement from their opening weekend performance at Upton Park, when they went down 2-0. Marshall does not believe it was down to any nerves among the squad, but acknowledges they were well below their best on the day. "We never really played," he said. "We took 20 minutes to get going in the first half and we never really put West Ham under pressure. "The goals we conceded were also disappointing especially when looking for a good result in your first game."
