Ipswich Town defender Drissa Diallo is in super-confident mood ahead of the visit of Cardiff City insisting that they 'fear no-one.'

The Blues hope to pick themselves up tomorrow - having lost 3-2 at Derby in the Coca Cola Championship last weekend - and the Guinean international knows they are more than capable of getting back on track.

Diallo, who has started at right-back for the first three games of the season, said: "Cardiff made it very hard for us at the end of last season when we needed the points to make the playoffs.

"But it's a league where anyone can beat anyone and that makes them a threat."

The former Burnley man is keen for Ipswich to forget their horror show at Derby last week and put things right against Cardiff.

He said: "We were lucky to be 2-1 up at one point last week to be honest. But we have been working hard not to repeat the same mistakes."

Matt Richards looks unlikely to feature following the re-opening of a gashed foot with on loan Tony Dinning set to replace him.
