What's the team news:
Neil Harris'
Cardiff City have thankfully come through the clash with Luton unscathed, meaning the manager is able to pick the same starting XI as he did for that thumping 4-0 win.
We could also see the return of Greg Cunningham, who has worked his way back to full fitness following his hamstring injury earlier in the season.
It has been a tough year for the Republic of Ireland international, in terms of injuries, and as such Harris is understandably cautious over including him in the squad too soon.
But, having missed out on last week's trip to Coventry and the win over the Hatters, Cunningham might well be in line for a return to the squad.
The long-term absentees remain Lee Tomlin, who will be out until the new year following groin surgery, Jordi Osei-Tutu, whose hamstring issue is still keeping him sidelined, and Isaac Vassell has suffered another setback with his quad.
For the visitors, Richard Stearman will be absent and that is a big loss, following an injury he sustained in their win over Middlesbrough.
Alex Pritchard and right-back Pipa returned to training on Monday but it is thought they will not be ready for the clash with the Bluebirds.
Goalkeeper Ben Hamer, though, will return to the fray after a period on the sidelines.
