Cardiff manager Dave Jones will pick from his strongest squad of the entire season when they face Portsmouth at Wembley in the FA Cup final.Jones must decide whether to hand a recall to Robbie Fowler, who has recovered from a hip injury, but the Bluebirds boss has already revealed the striker will be a handed a place on the bench at best.

Fellow forward Paul Parry came through his return from a hamstring problem against Barnsley a fortnight ago and will hope to be involved after missing the semi-final at Wembley.

Darren Purse is free to play after his red card against Burnley was overturned by the Welsh FA, but the former West Brom defender looks set for a place on the bench with Glenn Loovens and Roger Johnson likely to be prefered in central defence.

Cardiff (from): Enckelman, McNaughton, Loovens, Johnson, Capaldi, Whittingham, Rae, McPhail, Ledley, Parry, Hasselbaink, Oakes, Purse, Blake, Ramsey, Scimeca, Sinclair, Thompson, Fowler.
