The likely Cardiff City XI to face Derby County and the fans' choice

Cardiff City travel up to Derbyshire tonight as they look to get their promotion bid on track following a stuttering start.

But the international break has not been kind to Neil Warnock's men and he has had to contend with a number of issues.

Firstly, Jazz Richards has taken another knock in training, which means he is once again ruled out with a sore ankle.

Matthew Connolly has, unfortunately, once again had to undergo surgery on his ankle in order to finally rectify the problem, so he will also be absent.

Leandro Bacuna is a doubt for the game having flown back from international duty with Curacao on Thursday afternoon, he flew into East Midlands Airport and his situation will be assessed accordingly on Friday.

And Junior Hoilett is also a doubt owing to personal problems, while Danny Ward is unlikely to be back to full fitness. Long-term absentees Neil Etheridge, Marlon Pack and Sol Bamba are making good progress but will not be fit enough for Friday night.

So, who will Warnock pick for the battle with the Rams?

We've given our verdict, but you have your say below.

Our likely Cardiff City XI : Smithies; Peltier, Morrison, Flint, Bennett; Ralls, Vaulks, Tomlin; Murphy, Mendez-Laing, Glatzel
