' Cardiff City '
Cardiff could make a number of chances for this fixture as they have an opportunity to give game-time to the fringe players in their squad and also to rest their usual starting XI with two league away games in five days next week.
Stuart O’Keefe, Kagisho Dikgacoi, Matthew Kennedy, Federico Macheda and Sammy Ameobi could all be given a run out along with the likes of Declan John and Gabriel Tamas.
The fixture provides a perfect opportunity for Idriss Saadi to return to action but it doesn’t look like he will be fit in time. Cardiff will be without Sean Morrison who is still in a knee brace and will be out until at least mid-February. Simon Moore is expected to be given game-time ahead of number one David Marshall.
Ben Turner will be out until at least April with a serious ankle injury.
' Shrewsbury Town '
Midfielder James Wesolowski remains sidelined for the season with a serious knee injury. Larnel Coal and Liam McAlinden are currently on loan from Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers respectively so Shrewsbury will have to request permission from their parent clubs for them to feature in this competition.
Goalkeeper Jayson Leutwiler has been out with a broken nose since the Shrews last FA Cup tie but he could return for this fixture.
