    Cardiff boss Neil Harris said last week that he thought he had two games to save his job.

    Just as well he guided the Bluebirds to a 4-0 win over Luton on Saturday, lifting the Welsh club to 14th.

    Cardiff, beaten in the play-off semi-finals last season, entertain a Huddersfield Town side whose form has been patchy this season.

    The Terriers edged out Middlesbrough 3-2 on Saturday to end a four-match winless run.

    The visitors sit one place - and one point - ahead of Cardiff in the table.

    Harris has named an unchanged side, while Huddersfield boss Carlos Corberan has made five changes.

    Ben Hamer between the sticks while midfielder Matty Daly makes his first senior start.
