Bonne starts: How we predict Ipswich Town to line up against Pompey on Saturday | OneFootball

Ipswich Town continue to look impressive under the guidance of manager Kieran McKenna.

The Tractor Boys currently sit 9th in Sky Bet League One and are one of several clubs hunting down a play-off place, sitting just three points outside the top six.

On Saturday afternoon, they face the side directly behind them in the table, Portsmouth, at Portman Road, but do come into the match in good form having registered back-to-back 2-0 wins over Lincoln City and Fleetwood Town.

With that being said, here, we take a look at a potential XI manager McKenna could deploy for the visit of Pompey.

After deploying a back-four in midweek, we believe McKenna could revert back to a back three on Saturday.

Christian Walton remains in goal, whilst Luke Woolfenden and Janoi Donacien occupy places in the back three.

We think Cameron Burgess could join them, replacing the injured George Edmundson.

Similarly, in midfield, we expect Tom Carroll to come in for the injured Sam Morsy and partner Tyreeq Bakinson in the middle of the park.

On the left, Brentford loanee Dominic Thompson could get the nod, whilst on the right, we expect Wes Burns to start.

Playing in the attacking midfield role, we expect Bersant Celina to start over Sone Aluko after playing left-wing in midweek.

Meanwhile, up front, top goal-scorer Macauley Bonne could return to the side after being named on the bench on Tuesday night.

In this formation, we would expect Kayden Jackson to line up alongside Bonne and spearhead the Tractor Boys attack.

Ipswich Town vs Portsmouth is set for a 3pm kick-off at Portman Road tomorrow.
