The likes of Dillon Phillips might get a shot in goal, while Joel Bagan will likely come into the side at left wing-back, given Ryan Giles has been called back by his parent club Wolves.

Ryan Wintle will be an intriguing addition in the middle of the park, one would think. He comes with an excellent first half of the season under his belt and has really impressed the Bluebirds management, who have watched him closely during his time with the Seasiders.

It is up front, though, where Cardiff have mass absences.



Kieffer Moore is out for this weekend's clash following his ankle injury which he sustained at Bournemouth. It is unclear yet when he will return, there is an outside chance for Blackburn Rovers but it could also be towards the back end of the month.

Max Watters has been recalled from MK Dons, but he is still undergoing rehab for an injury he sustained while at the League One club. He has been ruled out this weekend.

James Collins has emerged as a doubt this weekend, too. It is thought the player could miss the game through illness. While Chanka Zimba is on his way to Northampton Town to complete a loan until the end of the season.

All things considered, then, that leaves two viable options to start the clash at Cardiff City Stadium this weekend, both of whom will be desperate to impress.

Mark Harris and Isaak Davies look the most likely duo to lead the line against the Lilywhites. Given they have both hovered near the bottom of the striker pecking order, it is an opportunity they will want to seize.

Harris has been linked with a move to German side FC St. Pauli, however, how concrete their interest is in the Wales international is sketchy at present.

A good opportunity to 'test' a couple of players/options

I'm sure we all want a win but sadly, the cups are not our priority this season :(
