Smith, Bishop and Hyam Start - Ipswich Town News
Tommy Smith, Teddy Bishop and Luke Hyam return to the Town side facing Huddersfield this afternoon in place of Jonny Williams and Kevin Bru, who had been suffering with knocks, and the suspended Tyrone Mings.
Williams had been a doubt having taken a few kicks at Cardiff on Tuesday, as did Bru, who was also struggling with a tight groin. Ming picked up his fifth booking of the season against the Bluebirds.
Skipper Luke Chambers is set to switch to right-back with Tommy Smith coming in at the centre of the defence and Jonny Parr moving to left-back.
Town: Gerken, Chambers (c), Berra, Smith, Parr, Skuse, Hyam, Bishop, McGoldrick, Murphy, Sammon. Subs: Bialkowski, Anderson, Hunt, Bajner, Tabb, Clarke, Ambrose.
Huddersfield: Smithies, Smith, Peltier, Dixon, Hudson (c), Lynch, Hogg, Butterfield, Coady, Holt, Wells. Subs: Murphy, Scannell, Ward, Wallace, Robinson, Paterson, Bunn. Referee: Richard Clark (Northumberland).
