Cardiff City

Dylan Lawlor's hamstring injury leaves Cardiff without a centre-back who started twice in their last five matches. Will Fish is expected to start despite suffering a sore hamstring against Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Krystian Bielik remains doubtful after returning to training following a groin injury.

Perry Ng has been struggling with a fitness issue but is expected to continue at right-back. Alex Robertson is also expected to start in central midfield if he recovers from an Achilles problem in time. Yousef Salech, who made his first start of the last five matches against Wolverhampton Wanderers, is expected to take the holding midfield role against West Ham.

West Ham United

West Ham United could have Konstantinos Mavropanos back from injury for the trip to Cardiff. The centre-back missed the defeat by West Bromwich Albion with a knee injury but is improving and could be fit by Wednesday. If he remains out, Airidas Golambeckis is expected to continue after starting against West Brom.

Edvin Austbø also made his first recent start against West Brom and is set to keep his place in midfield, where Divine Mukasa and Arne Engels are expected to continue ahead of Tomáš Souček. Jarrod Bowen, who has three goals and two assists in the last five matches, is set to keep his place on the right, while Mads Hermansen continues in goal.
