The Bluebirds travel to The Den to take on Millwall in the Sky Bet Championship on Tuesday evening.
The fixture will take place on January 21st, with a kick off time of 8pm.
OPPOSITION FOCUS | IN THE DUGOUT
Millwall’s manager is Alex Neil, who was appointed last month.
He started his managerial career in Scotland at Hamilton Academical, where he led the side to promotion back to the top-flight in his first full season in charge.
The Scot then went on to have a spell at Norwich City, where he gained promotion to the Premier League, but departed after leading the Canaries to relegation from the top-flight and left his side sat eighth in the Championship.
Neil later took charge at Preston North End, spending just under four years at the club and taking charge of 191 matches.
He went on to have a short spell at Sunderland leading them to promotion back to the Championship before taking charge at Stoke City.
Since his appointment last month, Neil has overseen four games; winning one, drawing one and losing twice.
