Cardiff City

Craig Noone could return for Cardiff after missing the trip to Huddersfield with a back injury.

While Idriss Saadi could make his long awaited return to the matchday squad as he looks to step onto the Cardiff City Stadium the pitch for the first time since late November.

Lee Peltier will be in contention for a starting place as he returns from a one-game suspension.

New signings Tom Lawrence and Kenneth Zohore will be available for selection, giving Russell Slade a difficult task when selecting the team.

Sean Morrison has around two weeks remaining on the sidelines with a knee injury.



MK Dons

Alex Revell will not make his debut due to an agreement between new club MK Dons and Cardiff City.

While Jay Emmanuel-Thomas is expected to start.

Former Cardiff forward Nicky Maynard could start while Josh Murphy, who has scored twice against Cardiff this season, is also likely to start.

Matthew Upson, Carl Baker and Ben Reeves all missed the Dons last fixture with Chelsea and are likely to miss out this week. MK Dons have recently recalled full-back George Baldock from his loan at Oxford United and the 22-year-old could start as soon as this weekend.

Certainly gonna be interesting to see whose selected, although I would have thought it's too early for Saadi to start and I would have thought it'd be wise to leave Noone on the bench and give him 15-20 minutes later on.

Saadi needs last 15 if we are leading

Will be interesting starting team

I hope Tan has arranged for all our players to watch Vardy's goal from midweek and is encouraging them to have a go.

Saadi could do with coming of the bench but probably too early to be considered a starter.

The Wales striker has joined from Leicester for the rest of the season after spending five months on loan at Cardiff's Sky Bet Championship rivals Blackburn.

Denmark Under-21 striker Kenneth Zohore, another transfer deadline day loan signing from Bluebirds owner Vincent Tan's Belgian club KV Kortrijk, is set to start his Cardiff career on the bench.

Defender Lee Peltier is available after serving his one-match ban in last weekend's 3-2 victory at Huddersfield.

New signing Alex Revell will have to wait for his Dons debut.

Revell swapped Cardiff for Milton Keynes this week on a free transfer but part of the deal was that he would not feature against his old club.
Another deadline-day arrival Jay Emmanuel-Thomas is in contention to make his first appearance after joining on loan from QPR. He will provide competition for the fit-again Nicky Maynard, who got 15 minutes under his belt in the FA Cup defeat against Chelsea on Sunday.

Carl Baker (ankle), Ben Reeves (thigh) and Matt Upson are continuing their recoveries from injury and remain unavailable to Dons boss Karl Robinson.

It will be the same team as last week, only change might be Peltier starting.

Interesting and powerful looking bench though!,,
