FT: CARDIFF CITY 3 - 1 LEEDS UNITED. Match thread
Cardiff defender Sol Bamba is set to return against his former side on Tuesday after being rested on Saturday.
Bluebirds full-back Lee Peltier should be fit despite a knock, while winger Junior Hoilett is likely to start.
Leeds defender Pontus Jansson could return to the XI after missing the win over Ipswich with a muscle injury.
Striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga returned to Germany on Saturday after the birth of his daughter but came back to training on Monday and will play.
Match facts
- Cardiff have lost their last two home league games against Leeds - more than they had lost in their previous 22 home games against the Whites (1).
- Since he left his job as Leeds boss in April 2013, Neil Warnock has won all three league meetings against his former side, including a 2-0 win at Elland Road last season with Cardiff.
- Warnock's last two home Championship defeats on a Tuesday came as Leeds boss - he lost 7-3 to Nottingham Forest in March 2012 and 3-2 to Hull in September 2012, but has not lost any since (W6 D3).
- None of Leeds' last 48 away matches in all competitions have ended goalless - should there be a goal in this game, it would equal their second longest run without an away 0-0 in their history (49 games between November 2007 and August 2009).
- The Whites have won six of their first nine league games of a season in the top two tiers of English football for the first time since 1999/2000 in the Premier League (also won six).

I'll listen out for it.
It makes you wonder how good it would be if we got promoted filling the ground out with the new stand

Wales do play there, so it'd be like that and therefore brilliant.

Have seen no mention whatsoever of the fact that Gunners trudged off near the end of our game on Saturday holding his groin. Precautionary, it may have been, but the fact that Gunners initiated the substitution, and looked none to pleased is a concern. This man mountain has the ability to play through most knocks, but with just 3 days gone since our last game, his fitness for tonight's game has to be a concern.

Don't want to kybosh it, but if we win tonight we could be top having already beaten the teams in 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
That would give the Wolufs something to chew on.

No Gunnars or Ralls

Some big changes, Gunnar, Ralls, JAZZ out. Bamba, Pelts, Darmour in.

Assume Bamba midfield

Wales Online saying Gunnar playing!
Although they have only named 10 starting players so not a reliable source.
Cardiff City: Etheridge, Peltier, Bamba, Morrison, Bennett, Gunnarsson, Bryson, Hoilett, Mendez-Laing, Zohore.

Is this the right line up?
Starting XI: Etheridge, Bennett, Bamba, Morrison, Manga, Peltier, Damour, Bryson, Mendez-Laing, Hoilett, Zohore.
Substitutes: Murphy, Tomlin, Ward, Feeney, Halford, Connolly, Bogle.
Leeds start with Saiz and Lassoga on the bench.

Ralls, Gunnarsson and Richards all have knocks according to the club on facebook.
Still like the look of the team though. Steel with Bamba and Damour, engine with Bryson.
In Warlock we trust.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UNITED. Match thread
Both Ralls and Gunnar have knocks. Really worried about the mf. Assume Bamba will sit in front of back 4 in a 4141 formation
Ken will be doing a lot of running tonite.

Ralls gunnarsson and Richards all picked up knocks apparently

Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UNITED. Match thread
First game I've missed in a year as I'm working away. I'm a bit worried about our midfield though, not much creativity there. And Tonkin still can't get a start?
