Ipswich Town head to Fulham this afternoon aiming for a second successive West London scalp.
Kieran McKenna’s team secured their first home win of the campaign last time out, as goals from Liam Delap and Omari Hutchinson earned an upset win over Chelsea. The result moved Ipswich within one point of safety and the Tractor Boys can climb to 16th with a win.
After just one win in their opening 15 fixtures, it was a second win in four games for Ipswich, who can take confidence into the second half of the season.
However, Fulham will provide a stern challenge. Marco Silva’s side are unbeaten in seven Premier League games and have held Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool to draws in recent weeks.
Christian Walton is expected to keep his place in goal having recorded a clean sheet against Chelsea. Walton made his first start since the opening weekend against the Blues and won the man-of-the-match award at Portman Road.
Conor Chaplin’s knee injury is set to sidelined him for a couple of weeks. The forward joins Chiedozie Ogbene, Axel Tuanzebe, George Hirst and Massimo Luongo on the sidelines.
Ipswich predicted XI: Walton; O’Shea, Greaves, Wolfenden, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste; Burns, Hutchinson, Szmodics; Delap.
Fulham host Ipswich in the Premier League on Sunday 5th January 2024. Kick-off at Craven Cottage is 14:00 GMT.
