Match Preview | Cardiff City (A)

Luton Town head to the Welsh capital on Tuesday evening as they conclude a busy month of fixtures against Cardiff City.

After a Friday night draw against Sheffield United under the lights at Kenilworth Road, Nathan Jones's side will be hoping to record their second win of the season following success against Swansea City 10 days ago.

The opposition:

Cardiff come into the game on the back of a goalless draw against Preston North End on Saturday and currently sit five places and two points higher than Luton.

The Bluebirds finished 18th in the Championship last season and refreshed their side with 15 new faces during the summer.

Exciting winger Jaden Philogene-Bidace (pictured above) joined on loan from Aston Villa and scored in their 1-0 win against Birmingham City earlier this month.

Last season's top scorer Aden Flint departed for Stoke in the summer and manager Steve Morrison will be hoping the likes of new signing Kion Etete and fellow forward Max Watters can provide the goals.

Last time we met:

Harry Cornick came off the bench to score the winner at the Cardiff City Stadium back in April.

The Hatters made it six points over the Easter period following victory against Nottingham Forest and strengthened their grip on a play-off place thanks to Cornick’s fine header.
