What’s the team news?

Today’s clash could see the return of Greg Cunningham, who has worked his way back to full fitness following his hamstring injury earlier in the season.

It has been a tough year for the Republic of Ireland international, in terms of injuries, and as such Neil Harris is understandably cautious over including him in the squad too soon.

But, having missed out on the midweek trip to Coventry, Cunningham might well be in line for a return.

The long-term absentees remain Lee Tomlin, who will be out until the New Year following groin surgery, Jordi Osei-Tutu, whose hamstring issue is still keeping him sidelined, and Isaac Vassell.

For the visitors, they hope to have attacker Kazenga LuaLua back in the squad, with the forward having missed the midweek draw against

Birmingham City due to a knock he sustained in training. However, striker Danny Hylton is a doubt for Nathan Jones’ side owing to a calf issue.

What have the managers said? Cardiff City manager Neil Harris:

“I think this is a big period for me, the club and the group, the next couple of games. I put expectations on my own shoulders and I need my players to deliver and I need to get big calls right.

“I think we have tried to change the way we’ve played and approach games, the style of play.

“The majority of it has been really good.

“The two penalty areas have been the problem. We’ve not scored enough, we’ve conceded the first goal too often.”

Luton Town manager Nathan Jones:

”Neil Harris did a wonderful job last year, got them in the play-offs. The Championship is one of those things, someone told me once that you don’t have to do a hell of a lot different in the Championship to go four unbeaten or to get four or five defeats on the spin because it is that type of league.

“Neil is experienced, they are not in a precarious position in anyway shape or form, far more teams in precarious positions, plus he brought himself a little bit of leeway because he has done fantastic work there.

“There’s never a good time to play Cardiff, especially away, because they’re a tough side to play. They have got experienced Championship players, a lot with Premier League experience so it’s a tough, tough game.”
