Cardiff host Manchester this Wednesday evening behind closed doors at Ice Arena Wales.

The devils are on a four-game winning streak, have come away with wins in six of their last seven games, and have seven victories in their last ten games. These results have brought them to within two points of Sheffield at the top of the table, although by virtue of tonight's game the Devils will have played four more games than the Steelers leaving them almost no room for error.

Manchester have climbed up to up to fourth in the standings after their shutout home win against Nottingham. Storm have the fourth-best home record in the entire league at 50% of points collected, but it has been their road form that has stopped them climbing even higher - they've only picked up three points from nine matches.

The teams have met twice this season so far with the Devils winning 3-0 in Cardiff, and taking a 3-2 OT win at the Shelter.
