Preview: Bolton Wanderers vs. Cardiff City

Cardiff City will be looking for their fourth win in five matches when they travel to the Macron Stadium to face Bolton Wanderers in the Championship on Tuesday.

The Welsh side have seen a resurgence under Russell Slade which has included a 3-1 win over Leeds United yesterday, which sent them to 11th in the table.

The manager could be without striker Kenwyne Jones for the trip to Wanderers, though, as he has had to fly home to Trinidad and Tobago following a "family tragedy".

Anthony Pilkington had to go off at half time after struggling with an illness on Saturday, and it is not clear whether he will be available for this game.

Meanwhile, Bolton will be hoping for a third win in six to move them out of the relegation zone.

The Trotters lost 2-1 to Norwich City on Friday to remain 23rd in the table, a point behind Birmingham City above them.

Neil Lennon could leave Jay Speaking out of his starting lineup for this match after admitting that the midfielder's half-time substitution on Friday evening was purely tactical.

These two sides did not play in the league last season, but Cardiff did knock Bolton out of the FA Cup in January.
