Kieffer Moore is Cardiff's top scorer, with 2 goals scored. For this game the home team have doubts about Lee Tomlin and Joe Bennett, both with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Sean Morrison, Curtis Nelson, Greg Cunningham, Jordi Osei-Tutu, Sheyi Ojo, Will Vaulks, Leandro Bacuna, Marlon Pack, Junior Hoilett, Kieffer Moore.
