Stuart Pearce has named the following starting XI which is unchanged from the 2-2 draw against Ipswich just under two weeks ago: Darlow, Hunt, Mancienne, Wilson, Lichaj, Lansbury, Tesche, Burke, Antonio, Assombalonga, Fryatt.
On the substitutes' bench are De Vries, Harding, Lascelles, Veldwijk, Blackstock, Osborn, Vaughan.
Russell Slade takes charge of Cardiff for the first time and has a potent looking strike force at his disposal in the shape of Adam Le Fondre and Federico Macheda, scorer of a double for Doncaster against the Reds in September 2013.
