The Sabri Lamouchi era gets under way this evening as Cardiff City head to Luton Town.
A trip to Kenilworth Road on transfer deadline day isn't exactly ideal timing for the Bluebirds, but they must make do with the hand they've been dealt. You can read about what to expect to happen on the final day of the transfer window here.
Although the deadline is pressing, so is Cardiff's need for points, with the club dangerously placed just above the relegation zone.
The Hatters are looking up and aiming for a place in the play-offs under new boss Rob Edwards. Here is everything you need to know about tonight's game.

What's the team news?The hosts will be boosted by the return of Carlton Morris to the ranks, who has scored 11 goals for the Hatters this term. Striker Harry Cornick has been the subject of transfer interest from Swansea City and Bristol City and his inclusion or exclusion could be noteworthy.
The Bluebirds are still without Mahlon Romeo and he is expected to be sidelined for a couple of weeks more yet. The same can be said for Ebou Adams.
Jamilu Collins is out for the season.
What have the managers said?Edwards: “My focus is fully and the vast majority of my work is on preparing the team and working with the squad of players and our staff.
“Our focus will be fully on that game and then we’ve got a board and a recruitment team that I’m working with, but can be focused on other areas if they need to be on the day.”
Lamouchi: "It is a massive club. I am here because of many reasons, the timing, the connection with the people here and the quality of the squad.
"It’s not good enough probably for a lot of people, but it’s enough for me to be in a better position. The club will work in the last few days of the window to finalise (transfers). I hope after a few weeks I can tell you with a good surprise I found the respect of players and the people around the club.
"I am a manager and not a magician. We need confidence. The team needs the fans. We all need to be involved. The support of our fans is really important."
