Another big test for the Bluebirds
More...
Norwich will check on forward Marley Watkins following his recent illness ahead of the visit of Sky Bet Championship promotion chasers Cardiff.
Winger Onel Hernandez has been sidelined since before Easter because of a hamstring problem, so he will also be assessed. Canaries boss Daniel Farke made four changes for the midweek draw at struggling Sunderland, but could again revert to a back three with Timm Klose coming into the heart of the defence while midfielder Alex Tettey may return to the starting XI after being an unused substitute.
Marco Stiepermann is stepping up his recovery from a hernia, while winger Matt Jarvis continues his rehabilitation from a long-term ankle injury, along with midfielders Tom Trybull (ankle/knee) and Louis Thompson (Achilles).
Cardiff head to Norfolk on the back of successive defeats which has seen them drop out of the automatic promotion places behind in-form Fulham. Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock made two changes for the 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa on Tuesday night, with midfielders Marko Grujic and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing both returning to the starting line-up.
Defender Callum Paterson had been sidelined after taking a knock to the chest, so continues to be assessed. Midfielder Joe Ralls has been out since the end of February with a hamstring problem but is closing in on a return while defender Jazz Richards (ankle) also continues his recovery.

First report of the afternoon from Sky says Norwich are on fire. Great
Crazy
That could have been goal of the season. Fantastic build-up.
Was anyone realistically expecting him to be dropped?Crazy
For who?
Bryson
Another great opportunity wasted.
Bamba off injured FFS FFS FFS FFS
I know. Manga is so shit isn't he.
Great. Sol is off injured. And Morrison looks like he has a knock.
Things going well for Cardiff City, as usual.
Norwich must be the worst fans for going on at the ref I’ve ever heard.
Not shit but definitely weaker defensively than Bamba, not a leader either. Better on the ball mind.
Nearly give a goal away then mind
225 minutes of football - 0 goals
Consistent.
Gruijc on for gunnar?
We look awful. Very little possession. When we do get the ball we give it right back. Our defence and midfield choose to head the ball back into the melee when they have time to take it down and control it.
Something needs to change.
This is how they are told to play. Been doing it all season.
