Preview: Ipswich Town vs. Leicester City

Ipswich vs. Leicester

Ipswich Town will be hoping to move closer to the Championship playoff places by beating Leicester City at Portman Road on Saturday.

Mick McCarthy's side currently sit 12th in the table, four points adrift of sixth-placed Reading.

The Tractor Boys picked up their first win in six matches when they beat Blackpool 3-2 a fortnight ago.

Leicester will be looking to bounce back from their 2-0 defeat to local rivals Nottingham Forest before the international break.

Nigel Pearson's men could go top of the standings if they win and other results go their way.

McCarthy has no fresh injury or suspension concerns and could name the same Ipswich side that won at Blackpool.

Leicester centre-back Sean St Ledger will miss the game through injury. Recent form

Ipswich: DDLDDW

Ipswich: Gerken; Mings, Hyam, Chambers, Berra; Edwards, Skuse, Tunnicliffe, Tabb; McGoldrick, Murphy

Leicester: Schmeichel; Moore, Konchesky, Morgan, Wasilewski; Drinkwater, Knockaert, King, Schlupp, Dyer; Nugent

Sports Mole says: 1-2
