Town Unchanged Against Charlton - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Mick McCarthy has named an unchanged side for tonight’s home game against Charlton.

The Blues could line-up in the 4-3-3 system they utilised during Saturday’s 0-0 draw at Wolves but, with Charlton playing 4-4-1-1, may well switch to 4-4-2 with Ben Pringle moving to the left from his weekend central role ahead of Cole Skuse and Jonathan Douglas with Liam Feeney on the right and Freddie Sears up front alongside Brett Pitman.

Teddy Bishop returns to the bench for the first time this season, alongside David McGoldrick, who made his first appearance since mid-December as a sub late on at Molineux.

The Addicks include one-time Town schoolboys Nick Pope in goal and Morgan Fox at left-back and ex-Blues loanee Stephen Henderson on the bench.

Town: Bialkowski, Chambers (c), Smith, Berra, Knudsen, Skuse, Douglas, Pringle, Feeney, Sears, Pitman. Subs: Gerken, Foley, Hyam, Bru, Bishop, Varney, McGoldrick.

Charlton: Pope, Solly (c), Fanni, Teixeira, Fox, Diarra, Cousins, Gudmundsson, Lookman, Harriott, Sanogo. Subs: Henderson, Motta, Suk-Young, Lennon, Jackson, Vetokele, Makienok. Referee: Oliver Langford (West Midlands).
