Cardiff set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation with Nathan Trott starting in goal behind a defensive line of Perry Ng, Krystian Bielik, Gabriel Osho, and Joel Bagan. Alex Robertson and Joel Colwill anchor the midfield double pivot, providing the platform for Ollie Tanner, Jack Moylan, and Chris Willock to support lone striker Yousef Salech. Callum Robinson and David Turnbull offer proven attacking pedigree from the bench.
Charlton
Charlton mirror the hosts with a 4-2-3-1 system, selecting Arthur Okonkwo between the posts behind Dan McNamara, Tyler Bindon, Lloyd Jones, and Ivan Mesík. Oliver Skipp and Conor Coventry form the central midfield base, allowing Millenic Alli, Karlan Grant, and Tyreece Campbell to operate in advanced roles behind focal point Miles Leaburn. Harvey Knibbs and Charlie Kelman are among the forward options waiting in reserve.

Cardiff head into this fixture as favourites on home soil. With creative outlets Ollie Tanner, Jack Moylan, and Chris Willock linking up behind Yousef Salech, the Bluebirds possess the requisite quality to challenge Charlton's central pairing of Tyler Bindon and Lloyd Jones.
