Cardiff
- Ali Al-Hamadi is cup-tied for Stoke, so needs replacing for Saturday's welcome of Cardiff.
- Lynden Gooch and Wouter Burger both took knocks at Hull last weekend but should be available if required.
- A further six players miss out for the Potters this weekend.
- Aaron Ramsey has a chance of making his first Cardiff appearance since August this weekend following a hamstring issue, though the experienced Welshman is unlikely to start.
- There are otherwise four confirmed absentees for the Bluebirds here, who should go with a stronger XI as they look to get the better of this injury hit Stoke side.
Excellent performance from Rubin Colwill!
