Town Unchanged Against Canaries - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Mick McCarthy has named an unchanged side for this afternoon’s East Anglian derby against Norwich City at Carrow Road (Sky Sports Two, from 11.30am, KO midday).

Skipper Luke Chambers is OK to take his place on the right of the defensive three having been ill earlier in the week, while Cole Skuse continues in central midfield with Toumani Diagouraga, who has also been unwell this week, with back on the bench having been ineligible against his parent club Leeds last week.

With Tom Lawrence still suspended, Freddie Sears keeps his place alongside David McGoldrick up front despite suffering a groin strain in the 1-1 draw with the Whites.

Norwich make three changes with Steven Whittaker, Yanic Wildschut and Alex Pritchard dropping to the bench and Ivo Pinto and Steven Naismith, who are both back from injury, and Wes Hoolahan all starting.

Norwich City: Ruddy, Pinto, Martin, Klose, Dijks, Tettey, Howson, Jacob Murphy, Hoolahan, Naismith, Jerome. Subs: McGovern, Whittaker, Wildschut, Lafferty, Pritchard, Bennett, Josh Murphy.

Town: Bialkowski, Spence, Chambers (c), Berra, Knudsen, Kenlock, Skuse, Ward, Huws, Sears, McGoldrick. Subs: Gerken, Emmanuel, T Smith, Bru, Diagouraga, Moore, Pitman. Referee: Oliver Langford (West Midlands).
