Two Changes For Blues - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Mick McCarthy has made two changes from the side which started last Saturday’s 1-0 win at Derby with Michael Chopra replacing the unavailable David McGoldrick and Guirane N’Daw coming in for Andy Drury.

Hull include ex-Blues loanee David Stockdale in goal and one-time Town target George Boyd in midfield, while another former loan man Liam Rosenior is on the bench, alongside keeper Eldin Jakupovic, who spent time on trial at Playford Road last summer. Full match preview here.
