New signing Dominic Solanke (hamstring) is available for selection but Lewis Cook and Simon Francis (both knee) are out.

Cardiff have only lost two of their last 16 home league matches against AFC Bournemouth. Eddie Howe featured for the Cherries when the south-coast side last won this fixture in March 2000.

AFC Bournemouth have lost their last six matches on the road, conceding at least twice each time, but they have not lost seven successive away league matches since October 1994.

Only Fulham, with 30, have conceded more away Premier League goals this season than AFC Bournemouth's 25.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing scored his first PL goal in Cardiff’s 2-1 midweek defeat to Arsenal, becoming only the second player to score in all four English league divisions since the 2014/15 season, after Alfie Mawson.
