Since beating Cardiff at Ninian Park in 1984 there have been 17 further meetings betwen the sides with Leeds failing to register a single victory. Even as Premier League leaders in 2002 they lost to Cardiff in an FA Cup giant-killingby the third tier Bluebirds.
Last season, with no Cardiff fans in the stadium, City won 2 - 1
Team preview from Sporting LIfe:
Leeds will be without suspended skipper Sol Bamba and midfielder Tom Adeyemi for their home game against Cardiff.
Bamba sits out a one-game ban after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season in last week's home defeat to Blackburn and either Scott Wootton or Giuseppi Bellusci will partner Liam Cooper in central defence.
Adeyemi, signed on loan by former head coach Uwe Rosler in the summer, is unavailable to face his parent club.
Current head coach Steve Evans has no new injury worries but could be tempted to make one or two other changes as Leeds chase their first home win in eight months.
Cardiff have been dealt a major blow after defender Fabio was ruled out for at least a month.
The former Manchester United full-back picked up a foot injury in the goalless draw against Ipswich and scans revealed ligament damage, with the club putting his recovery at between four and six weeks.
There remains uncertainty over Kagisho Dikgacoi, Kenwyne Jones and Idriss Saadi, with the latter two recovering from long-term injuries.
Manager Russell Slade said: "It's always eventful when we meet with Leeds. It'll be another tough game, but we've got a really good group of players, who play together with great spirit. That's what we'll need again on Tuesday."
