So, who are the Cardiff City players on the bench tonight?
Matt Turner - Goalkeeper, 21, joined from Leeds in 2021 and has had a stint out on loan with Aberystwyth.
Malachi Fagan-Walcott - Centre-back, 21, joined from Tottenham a week ago. Big mates with Kion Etete.
James Crole - Striker, 19, has scored bags of goals for the under-18s and more recently the under-21s. Had a frustrating loan to Torquay last season, where he got injured and had to return to the Bluebirds for the back end of the campaign.
Joel Colwill - Midfielder, 18, signed a contract with his brother Rubin not so long ago. One of the brighter talents emerging from the academy.
Josh Beecher - Midfielder, 17, has impressed with his versatility and ability to run at players with the ball at his feet in recent months.
Luey Giles - Left-back, 17, and made his Wales under-19s debut earlier this month. A good few weeks for him!
Cian Ashford - Attacking midfielder, 18, who has ripped up trees either side of a nasty injury during his days in the Bluebirds academy. Wales under-21s international who made his Cardiff debut in the win over Birmingham City in the last round.
Cody Twose - Midfielder, 17, and another Wales youth international. A mainstay in academy teams.
