Stoke boss Michael O'Neill:
“Joe [Allen] is fine. He has trained for the last two days and he will be available to face Cardiff which is great news.
“Sam [Clucas] must be regarded as a doubt and will have a fitness test but unfortunately we won’t be able to call upon Alfie [Doughty] as he has a hip injury.”
Cardiff interim boss Steve Morison:
"We are just working really, really hard to get a result at Stoke.
"You don’t go and do your Pro Licence and stuff like that because it's not in your mindset in the future.
"I had a huge job changing the 23s' fortunes around, changing the mindset of the club and academy and that’s what I’ve been working towards.
"I’ve managed to achieve that, I've made massive changes there and that's showing in their performances. Between myself, Tom and the staff, we've made huge strides there. That had been my focus up until Monday afternoon.
"I'm not getting carried away."
