THREE CHANGES: " CARDIFF CITY TEAM TODAY "

That's probably the team that everyone expected. Mark Harris had to come in after his bright outings the last few times he has played, including that stunning winner against Blackburn Rovers in midweek.

The Bluebirds have also shored up the midfield by replacing Romaine Sawyers with Joe Ralls. He just adds a bit more steel which you tend to need on away days such as this.

And then Perry Ng has moved over to the right-back spot with Jack Simpson selected in the heart of the defence. It seems Tom Sang has been chosen as right-back cover on the bench over Vontae Campbell.

It's also encouraging to see Kion Etete back on the bench. He has finally recovered after rolling his ankle while on under-21s duty more than a month ago. Be good to see him get some minutes today.

Joe Bennett starts at left-back for the hosts.

That’s the side I’d pick so no complaints here.

Sensible choice.

Sound good to me
