Head to head: 83 matches, Leeds won 34, Ipswich won 29 & draws are 21.
This is a game where we can not afford to concede fouls around the box or corners as ipswich has at least 5 players that are dangerous at set pieces. The Ipswich midfielder are probably the most dangerous in the league with 26 goals coming from this position. Both left back and right back are equally dangerous as they create and average of 6 chances a game from crosses. They have mobile giant at CB (6'4 - plays like he still playing AFL in Australia). The side is organised and very team oriented.
This game is the make or break for both of us as we can close the gap with a win also push pressure on them as they have league leaders straight after us. Meanwhile a less for us will see Southampton possibly jump us on the table.
Possible Starting Side:
Meslier
ArchieG, Rondon, Struijk, Spence
Ampadu, Kamara
James, Summerville
Pireo
