Sports Mole previews Saturday's Championship encounter between Ipswich Town and Bristol City.

Ipswich Town welcome Bristol City to Portman Road on Saturday having beaten the Robins in their last four league meetings.

Victory for the Tractor Boys will see them pull further clear of the relegation zone, but Derek McInnes's men are also battling at the foot of the table and could drag them back into the mire.

Mick McCarthy's ranks have been boosted by the return of Luke Hyam and Nigel Reo-Coker, who are both back in contention following hamstring injuries.

Robins striker Jon Stead is expected to feature against his old team after recovering from a thigh problem, but Cole Skuse and Greg Cunningham will both miss out.
