- Tonight's Championship Fixtures
Goalkeeper Chris Weale has not recovered from a shoulder injury so Carl Ikeme will continue to deputise between the sticks. Matty Fryatt is likely to keep his place up front for the Foxes despite reported interest from Derby for the striker, while Sousa will have to decide whether to recall Steve Howard to give his frontline more aerial threat.
Danny N'Guessan may be recalled at the expense of Lloyd Dyer as the Foxes look for their first win of the season. Andy King scored at the weekend and will be at the heart of the midfield again.
Craig Bellamy and Jay Bothroyd are battling to be fit for Cardiff. Bellamy stands the better chance of the two strikers as he looks to recover from the knee problem - sustained while on international duty with Wales - which ruled him out of Saturday`s 2-0 win over Hull.
Bothroyd (calf) faces a slightly tougher prospect of proving his fitness in time having also missed out against the Tigers. City already have Michael Chopra on the sidelines until at least next month with an ankle injury.
On-loan midfielder Danny Drinkwater was the third player to miss out at the weekend due to an ankle problem of his own and he will undergo a late fitness test. Fellow loanee Seyi Olofinjana netted the opener against his parent club before being forced off with a thigh injury but he should be okay while manager Dave Jones will assess various other bumps and bruises.
