Leeds United vs Cardiff City (Team News)

Cardiff City will be forced to make one change to the side that defeated Burnley in the midweek Carling Cup clash with Anthony Gerrard picking up a 5th booking and 1-match suspension. Big defender Ben Turner would almost certainly have returned for the League game anyway and will partner Mark Hudson.

City will likely stick with the 5-man midfield of Conway, Cowie, Whittingham, McPhail and Gunnarsson meaning Solvakian Filip Kiss must be content with a place on the bench.

In attack, City have a doubt over Kenny Miller who has needed 20 stitches in a cut to his head sustained last weekend. He is rated as 50/50 but may require a protective headguard if he does feature. Young prospect Joe Mason would continue in the Scotsman’s absence with fellow striker Rudy Gestede out with a hamstring problem.



eeds United could again be without dangerous wideman Robert Snodgrass who has struggled with a back injury. He is a highly influential player fir the whites, and scored a fine curling effort during the match between these sides at CCS last season. He has returned to action, and played for the full 90 minutes in midweek – though could be rested today.

Additionally, former CCFC target Andy Lonergan will miss out with a hand injury meaning the experienced Paul Rachubka will continue in goal for Leeds.
