Drury and Murphy Start for Town - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Mick McCarthy has recalled Andy Drury and Daryl Murphy to his starting line-up for absent skipper Carlos Edwards and the unavailable David McGoldrick. In the Trinidadian’s absence, former Forest skipper Luke Chambers wears the Blues’ armband.

Otherwise, Town are unchanged, although there is no place on the bench for Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, who misses out due to a bug, while Tyrone Mings and new loan signing Reece Brown are in the 18 for the first time.

One-time Blues loanee Danny Collins skippers an unchanged Forest side. Full match preview here.
