Bluebirds boss Russell Slade looks set to turn to the 10 outfield players who featured in the wins against Wolves, Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield
Kenwyne Jones and Anthony Pilkington are expected to return to the Cardiff City team to face Charlton.
Manager Russell Slade is expected to revert to the XI that made a superb start to the Championship season and saw them second after six games.
Striker Jones and winger Pilkington both starred in the early season run but were left out at Rotherham last weekend as Newcastle loanee Sammy Ameobi and Craig Noone were given their shot.
As the Addicks come to town, Slade is set to call on the same 10 outfield who won against Wolves, Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield in the season's opening weeks.
The only change will be David Marshall, who is banned for two games after his red card at Rotherham. Simon Moore will replace him, as he did at the start of this season.
The form of Fabio is currently keeping Scott Malone out, while the likes of Bruno Manga and Aaron Gunnarsson are waiting patiently for their chance to impress.
Ben Turner (ankle) and Federico Macheda (back) are both recovering after surgery, although they will be ruled out for some time yet, while French centre-forward Idriss Saadi is being given time to adjust to playing in a new country.
Saadi is not injured, but needs to lift his fitness levels to those needed for Championship football.
He will be in contention after the next international break when the Bluebirds go to Preston on Saturday, October 17.
Charlton have gone five matches without a win, scoring four goals and conceding 12. They crashed out of the Capital One Cup in a 4-1 defeat against Crystal Palace and coach Guy Luzon said: “We need to move on from this, focus on the league and increase our levels of performance to bring a (positive) result against Cardiff.
“That is a very important game for us and we will do everything to take the points.”
Cardiff City team (probable, v Charlton) 4-4-1-1
Simon Moore; Lee Peltier, Sean Morrison (capt), Matt Connolly, Fabio
Anthony Pilkington, Kagisho Dikgacoi, Peter Whittingham, Joe Ralls
Joe Mason; Kenwyne Jones
