Ipswich Town host Bournemouth at Portman Road looking to end a run of three matches without a win and move into the top half of the Premier League table.
Gary O’Neil’s side sit 14th with 11 points from nine matches, having drawn their last two fixtures from behind against Nottingham Forest and Hull City following a 3-2 defeat at Manchester City. Ipswich possess the joint-fourth-best attacking record in the division with 14 goals, and they face the club O’Neil previously managed in a match that could lift them into the top half of the table.
Ipswich Town team news
Sasa Lukic is in line to return after being given an extra week to recover from a groin injury, though O’Neil is unlikely to make wholesale changes to his starting XI. Emersonn is expected to retain his place up front despite going five matches without a goal, with Zian Flemming waiting for an opportunity to start.
Azor Matusiwa, Daizen Maeda and Jack Clarke are the main alternatives available to O’Neil in midfield and the final third if he opts to freshen up his side. Ipswich have lost only once at Portman Road this season, against Liverpool, and have taken five points from home matches against Sunderland, Fulham and Nottingham Forest.
Ipswich Town predicted lineup
Ipswich Town possible starting XI (4-2-3-1): Walton; Ouattara, O’Shea, Diop, Davis; Luis, Palacios; Fatawu, Enciso, Philogene; Emersonn
