Leeds United will welcome Cardiff City to Elland Road tonight with a place in the FA Cup fourth round on the line after their 2-2 draw at the Cardiff City Stadium earlier this month.
Since then, the Bluebirds have sacked manager Mark Hudson and replaced him with interim Dean Whitehead, meaning a change in style could be on the cards.
The Whites still haven't won a match in 2023 after their 2-1 loss to Aston Villa last week, meaning that manager Jesse Marsch will likely field a strong side in order to get the fans back on board with his vision for the club.

For the Bluebirds, Whitehead will only have two absentees meaning he'll have almost a full squad at his disposal when they travel to Elland Road tonight.
Right-back Mahlon Romeo, who has been very reliable for Cardiff this season, will miss the match after suffering with an issue while Gavin Whyte is a doubt due to struggling with an illness in recent weeks.
Before being sacked, former manager Hudson made early substitutions in their match against Wigan Athletic by taking off attackers Mark Harris, Sheyi Ojo and Isaak Davies, meaning they're all likely to start tonight.
After his goal against the Latics at the weekend, Callum O'Dowda is another likely name to start on the teamsheet while goalscorer in the first tie Jaden Philogene is almost a shoo-in.
Predicted Cardiff XI (4-2-3-1): Ryan Allsop; Perry Ng, Curtis Nelson, Jack Simpson, Callum O'Dowda; Ryan Wintle, Joe Ralls; Mark Harris, Sheyi Ojo, Jaden Philogene; Isaak Davies.
