Matt Phillips and Harvey Barnes have impressed this season, whilst Kieran Gibbs should play at left-back.

Key Battles

Ipswich’s midfield three includes youngster Trevoh Chalobah. The England U20 international has cemented a place in the team since his loan move from Chelsea.

The Tractor Boys’ defence of Luke Chambers and Matthew Pennington could have a busy night.
