Team News

Cardiff
Luton
  • Cardiff boss Ömer Riza should make at least two changes in midweek with Alex Robertson and Cian Ashford stepping back into the line-up.
  • Versatile midfielder Andy Rinomhota is a major doubt, while six players have been ruled out for the visit of Luton.
  • Callum Robinson should keep his place in the starting XI despite failing to impress against Sunderland on Saturday.
  • Expect at least three changes from Luton with Mark McGuinness, Lamine Fanne and Carlton Morris all pushing for starts.
  • Centre-back Reece Burke is back in full training but will be eased back into the first-team after over three months on the sidelines.
  • Kal Naismith is suspended after his red card against Burnley on Saturday.

Prediction

  • Isaak Davies' first-half goal counted for nothing at the full-time whistle on Saturday as Chris Mepham put Sunderland back in front late on. Cardiff have now lost back-to-back league games and are only four points clear of the relegation zone, making this a true six-pointer for Ömer Riza's side.
  • There was no momentum carried over from Luton's first league win under Matt Bloomfield. The Hatters were annihilated by promotion contenders Burnley at Turf Moor, conceding twice in each half after going down to 10 men in the 19th minute. The visitors have taken just one point from their last 15 away league games.
