Thanks by and large to Reading's points deduction this season, Cardiff City head to champions-elect Burnley on Monday with nothing riding on the game for either side.
While that might be the case for the team as a whole, there are some players who still have something to play for. They will still have points to prove or contracts to nail down. For them, it's not a dead rubber after all.
Sabri Lamouchi still has his all-important meeting with Vincent Tan coming up, so his own future is not completely sewn up, but he will still be planning for next season in the hope that talks go smoothly and he agrees a new deal.
