Tomer Hemed (right) hopes to recover from injury

Leaders Brighton will be without wingers Jamie Murphy and Kazenga LuaLua when they host Cardiff.
Murphy starts a three-match ban after he was sent off at Bolton last weekend and LuaLua is sidelined by a groin injury suffered in training.
Striker Tomer Hemed hopes to be fit after a hamstring problem and right-back Bruno should overcome an ankle knock.
Midfielder Andrew Crofts, an unused substitute last weekend, could make his first appearance in a year following a serious knee injury.
Cardiff defender Lee Peltier is back in contention after missing last week's home win against Charlton due to a swollen leg.
Boss Russell Slade switched Fabio into the right-back slot last week and started with Scott Malone at left-back and must decide whether to make changes to accommodate Peltier.
Simon Moore will continue to deputise in goal as captain David Marshall completes a two-match suspension.
Slade will be without Federico Macheda for the next two months after the former Manchester United striker needed surgery to repair a disc injury, while Brighton old boys Craig Noone and Alex Revell are both set to start on the bench.
