Boss Mick McCarthy hailed strike pair David McGoldrick and Daryl Murphy after their goals saw the Blues to Saturday’s 2-0 victory at Blackpool.
McGoldrick put Town in front in the 26th minute and Murphy sealed the win just after the hour mark.
"They are a good partnership and it probably suited them when I went to 4-4-2 after 10 or 15 minutes,” McCarthy said.
"I think we get the best out of them at that, but we’ve had a good spell at 4-3-3. They are a good partnership.
"I think they’re amongst the division’s best. And I think everybody else does as well.”
The duo have now scored 13 goals between them this season - Murphy eight, McGoldrick five - with the former Waterford, Sunderland and Celtic man currently joint-third top scorer in the Championship.
The pair first linked up in the second half of the 2012/13 season after McGoldrick, now 26, initially joined on loan from Nottingham Forest and added four goals to the 17 he had scored during a half-season spell with Coventry in League One.
Thirty-one-year-old Murphy - then in his third loan stint with Town - totalled seven that season, two after McGoldrick’s arrival.
But it was last season that they really clicked and established themselves as the club’s first-choice partnership, netting 29 goals in total, Murphy grabbing 13 and McGoldrick 16 before his season was ended prematurely by his knee injury in February.
The pair could soon link-up for the Republic of Ireland - alongside Blues loan striker Conor Sammon - with manager Martin O’Neill recent revealing that the paperwork relating to McGoldrick’s qualification is close to being completed and that he could be added to the squad for this month’s internationals.
