Dave Jones is likely to make changes to the side which booked a place in the FA Cup final for Cardiff's trip to face Ipswich on Wednesday.Full-back Kevin McNaughton was forced off early in the second half of the 1-0 victory over Barnsley with a back injury and Jones could call on youngster Darcy Blake to deputise should he fail to recover.

Striker Paul Parry missed the Wembley clash after suffering a hamstring strain in last week's draw with West Brom and he remains doubtful to face the Tractor Boys.

Fellow forward Steve Thompson is likely to earn a recall to the starting line-up after an effective substitute appearance at Wembley, with one of veteran pair Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink or Trevor Sinclair likely to make way.

Robbie Fowler is closing in on a return following a hip injury but the game will come too soon for the former Liverpool striker, while Warren Feeney also definitely misses out.

Midfielders Aaron Ramsey and Riccardo Scimeca could also be drafted in as the Bluebirds boss shuffles his pack.
