    Cardiff City manager Neil Harris makes four changes from Sunday’s 1-0 win at Preston.

    Left-back Greg Cunningham is out with a hamstring injury and is replaced by 19-year-old Joel Bagan for his first league start, while midfielder Leandro Bacuna switches to right-back in place of Jordi Osei-Tutu.

    Wales attacking midfielder Harry Wilson – on loan from Liverpool – makes his first start for the Bluebirds in place of Joe Ralls, while striker Robert Glatzel comes in for Kieffer Moore, who is on the bench.

    Bournemouth boss Jason Tindall makes two changes from the goalless draw with QPR in what appears to be a slight tweak from a 3-5-2 formation to a 3-4-3.

    Arnaut Danjuma replaces Lewis Cook while forward Junior Stanislas returns in place of Sam Surridge.

    Cardiff XI: Smithies; Bacuna, Morrison, Nelson, Bagan; Pack, Vaulks; Ojo, Wilson, Hoilett; Glatzel.

    Bournemouth XI: Begovic; Mepham, S. Cook, Rico; Stacey, Lerma, Gosling, Smith; Stanislas, Danjuma, Solanke.
