Cardiff boss Russell Slade is expected to name an team unchanged from before the international break.
Aron Gunnarsson, David Marshall, Anthony Pilkington and Bruno Manga have all returned unscathed from national team duties.
Loan goalkeeper Jed Steer is expected to go straight into Huddersfield's starting line-up and Jamie Paterson is also hoping for a start in midfield.
