Cardiff City will be without suspended captain Sean Morrison when they take on Preston North End in the Championship on Saturday.

Morrison was dismissed during their comeback from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 against in-form Leeds United last week.

North End will not have Darnell Fisher available for the trip to Wales as he picked up a 10th booking of the season.

Boss Alex Neil may amend his defence by selecting captain Tom Clarke or Alan Browne in Fisher's place.

Preston have won three of their last four league matches against Cardiff (L1), one more than they managed in their previous 11 games against the Bluebirds. Having lost just once in their 10 home league games this season (W7 D2), Cardiff are looking to win three consecutive home games in the Championship since a run of seven straight victories in March 2018.
