What's the team news?
Cardiff City will be boosted by the possible return of Lee Tomlin for tonight's clash with Derby County.
The playmaker missed the clash with Bournemouth owing to suspension before struggling with a groin issue for the weekend draw with Middlesbrough.
However, manager Neil Harris said he has been extremely pleased with Tomlin's progress over the last week and the 31-year-old could feature tonight. He might even play alongside Harry Wilson for the first time, an exciting prospect indeed.
Elsewhere, Filip Benkovic is set to miss this one, having played in the Bluebirds' under-23s match against Hull City yesterday as he tries to work his way up to match sharpness. He could come into the fray for QPR this weekend.
The Bluebirds are still sweating on the fitness of Jordi Osei-Tutu, who limped off again with a hamstring injury on the weekend, and Joe Bennett, who is also struggling with a hamstring problem.
Both were due to be assessed yesterday ahead of tonight's clash.
Isaac Vassell is still the long-term absentee for City, while Greg Cunningham is also out of contention for a few more weeks with his own hamstring issue..
Derby will be without Wayne Rooney for the clash, with the former Manchester United and England star in quarantine until Friday.
Other than that, the Rams have no fresh injury concerns.
Derby County assistant Liam Rosenior: "[On the poor home record] You can't look in the past, you have to look in the future. It's a really difficult time for everyone.
"Our home record last season was outstanding and we had 28,000 fans in. It goes to show how important the supporters are.
"It doesn't hurt anyone as much as me that fans can't be allowed in. But we need to focus on what we now do at home.
"I know Cardiff are a very, very good team at this level but if we perform at our levels we can win the game.
"We've got a big game against a good side on Wednesday. Neil Harris has done a fantastic job there, it's going to be a real physical challenge.
"I saw them play in the play-off semi-final at Fulham and they were really unfortunate not to go through to the final. They have got a physical element, long throws and set plays, but they've got Harry Wilson, they've got [Sheyi] Ojo, they've got really good wide players with quality.
"We know their strengths but I'm sure they know ours as well and they are in for a good game."
Cardiff City manager Neil Harris: "I think you won’t see a Derby team play similar to what they did a few months ago when they came to Cardiff City Stadium.
"They’ve got good players and important players back in the group. They’ve got attacking intent.
"It’ll be a completely different game to the one against Middlesbrough the other evening.
"We have to handle it completely differently, you have to have great shape, good pressing triggers and organisation and when we have the ball we have to hurt them.
"Results show we’ve been better away from home. But results across the football league show that. Preston have lost their home games, Derby have. It’s unheard of.
"I don’t expect that to change without fans. In some ways it’s better to be away from home. Usually, you’d expect the worst, a barrage of abuse from fans, mentally and physically, you don’t get that now.
"At home, we don't have no mental block, not a conscious problem, it’s just conceding the first goal.
"We have done well in the last few games but we can’t keep doing that. It’s the first-goal mentality."
