Preview

Cardiff boss Malky Mackay will select his starting line-up for the first leg of their play-off semi-final against West Ham from a full-strength squad.

Four unspecified players sustained knocks in the win at Crystal Palace, but are all expected to be back.

West Ham also have a fully fit squad available with midfielder Gary O'Neil (ankle) passed fit.

Kevin Nolan is also fine despite suffering a dead leg and James Tomkins has shaken off a knock to the head.

Mackay is determined that his team will not be unnerved by recent disappointment in the play-offs.

The Bluebirds lost out to Blackpool in a thrilling Wembley final two seasons ago, before being beaten by Reading at the last-four stage last term.

    “Our away form is fantastic. I don't think we have anything to be afraid of”

Neil McDonald West Ham assistant manager

"That's in the past, you have to take the individual games on their own merit," the Bluebirds boss said. "Each of us have been better away from home so it will be interesting. But it's a 180-minute game of football. Nothing will be decided until 6.15pm on Monday.

"When you get to this stage it is about who is the calmest on the day, who gets that bit of luck, but also who tactically gets it right over the 180 minutes."

Meanwhile, West Ham assistant boss Neil McDonald insisted the Hammers would not be affected by their favourites tag.

The Londoners finished 11 points ahead of sixth-placed Cardiff and have won a club-record 13 matches away from home this term.

"There's no reason why we shouldn't handle the pressure," McDonald said. "There were doubts about our home form but we've put that to bed with our last two games and our away form is fantastic. I don't think we have anything to be afraid of.

"It will be a unique atmosphere but our experienced players will calm everyone down and the ones who haven't done it before should be positive. It will be a close game but hopefully we can take advantage of our away form and then bring them back to Upton Park on Monday and show what we did in the last two matches, which is play positive football, create chances and score goals."
