I don't see why not but it may be worth phoning just incase

United looked sharp second half against Middlesbrough and got a goal wrongfully disallowed. Looked slightly shabby defensively and their confidence is not 100%, although it did pick up later in the match. If we go and attack all out, I expect a 2-0 win for us

If we score later in the match and sit back, the pessimist in me thinks that it could be 1-1.

TEAM NEWS

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Loic Damour could both start again after they both impressed in the 4-0 win over Aston Villa – the Bluebirds will remain without young striker Rhys Healey and highly-rated winger Kadeem Harris.

Joe Bennett may miss out with a calf strain picked up against Aston Villa.

Sheffield United on the other hand have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the trip to the Welsh Capital and Billy Sharp will be expected to partner Leon Clarke up front for Chris Wilder’s side.

Thats the big question?

Thats the big question?

He came off on Saturday with a knock so hope its nothing more than that. Selling him would be a very poor decision imo; he's a decent player and it would disrupt the harmony that appears to be in the squad.

he had an ice pack on his calf on saturday, i wouldn't be surprised if Warnock just doesnt want to risk him. whether he's not risking him ahead of Wolves or a medical at Fulham only time will tell.

I truly believe Bennett will stay though

Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock has made three changes for the visit of Sheffield United at the Cardiff City Stadium tonight.

Bruno Manga is preferred ahead of Lee Peltier at right back, with the latter dropping to the bench.


Interestingly, Joe Bennett does not make the matchday squad, with Jazz Richards taking his place at left back.

Recent speculation has linked the the 27-year-old with a move to Championship rivals Fulham, with some reports even going so far as to suggest he has already held talks with Slavisa Jokanovic's side.

Here we go Here we go Here we go.

First sniff at goal for Cardiff

Mendez-Laing sets Zohore off down the right. The Dane wins a corner, which pings around the United box before eventually going out for a goal kick

Billy Sharp is allowed to turn and shoot in the box, but his already tame shot is deflected into the arms of Etheridge.

Sol Bamba and Etheridge can’t decide who should address a loose ball behind the back, the former just about manages to mop up, evading the attention of Sharp, who goes down. Appears to be fine now, though.

Brilliant move from Cardiff allows Lee Tomlin to get a low drive away on the edge of the box. Just wide.

It’s nearly a moment of magic from Junior Hoilett, who cuts inside from the left and curls a brilliant effort from 25 yards. Superb save from Blackman

A fairly flat affair so far. Cardiff have probably been the better side and indeed would have taken the lead had Lee Tomlin diverted his drive on target. Little to get nerves jangling at the other end, but this one needs a spark to really capture the fans here

Jazz Richards hit a 30yard strike,hit the crossbar, keeper beaten.

Then Sheff united miss a sitter

Laing and Bamba both yellow cards

Tomlin just wide of the post.

@SUFC_tweets forced into an early change. Richard Stearman replaced by Jake Wright.

1-0 Morrison

Yes Sean Morrison 1-0
