Town make one change for this afternoon’s game at Peterborough United with George Hirst replacing Freddie Ladapo up front.

Otherwise, the Blues field the same team that beat Port Vale 2-1 at Portman Road on Tuesday.

Peterborough include former Blues loanee Will Norris in goal, while Joe Ward, who was expected to be out for the season, and Dan Butler come into the team for Nathan Thompson, who is injured, and Kwame Poku.

Posh look set to switch from their usual 4-2-1-3 to a back three and a front two of Ephron Mason Clark and skipper Jonson Clarke Harris.

Town: Walton, Clarke, Burgess, Woolfenden, Burns, Morsy (c), Luongo, Davis, Chaplin, Broadhead, Hirst. Subs: Hladky, Donacien, Ball, Edwards, Harness, Jackson, Ladapo.

Peterborough: Norris, Butler, Edwards, Kent, Taylor, Clarke-Harris (c), Mason-Clark, Ogbeta, Norburn, Kyprianou, Ward. Subs: Blackmore, Watts, Knight, Poku, Burrows, Thompson, Tshimanga. Referee: Gavin Ward (Surrey).

Linkboy13 added 14:34 - Apr 22 No surprise this team change Freddie looks very effective when coming off the bench , when the intensity of the game has dropped. A championship quality striker will be at the top of McKenna's list next season with rumours rife that Adam Armstrong is being targeted.

ButchersBrokenNose added 14:54 - Apr 22 This makes sense. KMcK couldn't drop Freddie on Tuesday because he scored a brace last week, but he was obviously out of synch with the rest of the team against Port Vale. Best to stick with the starting XI which has put us on this run and bring Freddie on as an impact sub in the second half. COYB. Let's finish this.

Northstandveteran added 14:57 - Apr 22 An overhyped Peterborough who are 15 points behind us and have lost 16 games in the league compared to our 4. If it wasn't for the play off system their season would be over. A physical game ahead but this Ipswich squad is able to dig in when things get messy, something we haven't had in years. A 2-0 win for me.
