Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay has made two changes to the starting lineup for his Championship-topping side in the home clash against Crystal Palace.

Matthew Connolly is suspended after his booking against Leicester City and is replaced by Kevin McNaughton, and Craig Noone is into the XI for Kim Bo-Kyung.

Ian Holloway has made two changes and both are in defence. Danny Gabbidon replaces the suspended Damien Delaney and Dean Moxey is in for Jonathan Parr.

Cardiff: Marshall; Taylor, Hudson, Turner, McNaughton; Noone, Mutch, Whittingham, Conway; Helguson, Bellamy

Palace: Speroni; Parr, Gabbidon, Moxey, Ramage; Bolasie, Dikgacoi, Garvan, Jedinak; Zaha, Murray
