Dozzell, Benyu and McDonnell in U23s Facing Bristol City - Ipswich Town News

Andre Dozzell, Kundai Benyu and Adam McDonnell will start for a young U23s side featuring no senior players facing Bristol City away at the Stoke Gifford Stadium this afternoon (KO 1pm).

Gerard Nash's youngsters have won three of their last four games, including last week's 4-3 home victory over Crystal Palace.

The Robins are fielding a team including several players with first-team experience, most notably on-loan Wales international right-back Adam Matthews, who is on a season-long loan from Sunderland, and Irish international winger Callum O’Dowda.

Town’s senior side take on Bristol City, who have won just once in their last eight in all competitions, losing six, at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon.

U23s: Wright, Woolfenden, C Smith, Fowler, Webber, Blanchfield, Dozzell, Benyu, McDonnell, McLoughlin, Morris.
