Dwayne Peel's side will be looking to keep their good run of results at the Arms Park going, with the west Walians having not lost at the ground since 2019. They've also won four on the bounce away to Cardiff, having last been beaten by the Blue and Blacks in the capital at the Cardiff City Stadium in 2021.

Cardiff and Scarlets are hopeful of retaining their top players after Wales captains Jac Morgan and Dewi Lake opted to swap Ospreys for Gloucester.
