The Dragons will welcome back two key players as they bid to finally win at home against a Cardiff side that has yet to triumph away this season.
At the end of another tumultuous week in Welsh rugby, the two sides will go head to head at Rodney Parade this Friday - with little to play for in the URC other than the usual bragging rights that come with Welsh derbies.
And Dean Ryan's team will be boosted by the return of Wales hooker Elliot Dee and centre Jack Dixon, one of their strongest performers this season, to take on Cardiff. They're among three changes made by Ryan for the penultimate game of a woeful season for the Gwent side.
