Four Strikers Start at Burton - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Mick McCarthy has named an attacking line-up for this afternoon’s game at Burton featuring all four of his frontline strikers, David McGoldrick, Joe Garner, Martyn Waghorn and Freddie Sears.
The Blues could line-up in the 4-4-2 system which saw them to victory in a number of their early season games or in a 4-2-3-1 formation with McGoldrick, Sears and Waghorn behind Garner.
