STRONG ATTACKING TEAM: " CARDIFF CITY TEAM TONIGHT "

The team news is in and the big news is that Aleksandar Mitrovic and Harry Arter are missing from the visitors' starting line up.

Given how reliant the Cottagers had been on their 26-goal striker, that is a sizeable blow.

For Cardiff, they name an unchanged XI for tonight's clash, with Marlon Pack preferred in central midfield to Will Vaulks once again.

It's an attacking line up from Neil Harris, that's for sure, with Lee Tomlin selected at No.10, flanked by Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Junior Hoilett.

A huge night ahead for the boys in blue.

No Mitrovic for Fulham!!

Pack.... Jesus Christ.

I’ll allow the Pack enthusiasts to praise his “performance” against a relegated team. But this is Fulham. We should not be playing Pack..

Not even on bench.

That's got to get the confidence going.

Neil Harris' tribute to the fans

Here's what the gaffer said before the match...

My final note for this season's programme is reserved for you, the City fans.

NEIL HARRIS:

"It's such a shame you've been unable to witness our excellent performances in recent weeks, but I know you've been watching and enjoying from home.
There's no doubting how much we would have valued your passion at Cardiff City Stadium this evening, but your continued support is still felt very strongly amongst us and we hope to see you back here with us as soon as it's deemed possible.
Enjoy the game,"

Reporting Mitrovic is carrying a 'knock' and hoping for a return in the home leg

Nothing seen on the Harry Arter situation

Heck of a bench for us
