Cardiff City interim manager Mark Hudson says he is fully aware of the individual quality Sunderland possess, as he prepares to take the Bluebirds to the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
Hudson, who has been in caretaker charge in the Welsh capital since Steve Morison's sacking in mid-September, is set for crunch talks with the Cardiff board next week. The Bluebirds have lost four of their last five games (W1) and travel to Sunderland just two points clear of the relegation zone.
Sunderland won 2-0 at Huddersfield Town on Wednesday courtesy of goals from Alex Pritchard and Amad Diallo, and Hudson has listed a number of players who can threaten his side this weekend.

"It's a tough place to go," Hudson said in his pre-match press conference. "I think they've been getting 40,000 maybe so it'll be an experience for some of the players which is great. Something to look forward to.
"Third game in a week, we've prepared as well as we can. We spoke about Sunderland yesterday [Thursday] and we'll do a little bit more on them today. And we'll put ourselves in a good place to try and get a result but they're a good side.
"We've watched their strengths, they've got players that can hurt you. They've got Pritchard, Clarke, Roberts, they've got threats, Simms has come back into the squad as well. So we know they're another team that can hurt you, and we've got to be at our best.
"But to go back to the consistency of our performance, the performances have been there, it's just little moments that we can get better at."
