Stephen Gleeson and Jordan Spence come into the Town side for the injured Cole Skuse and ineligible Dominic Iorfa as the Blues face leaders Wolves at Portman Road.

Gleeson, who played for Wolves under Town manager Mick McCarthy, will be making his first full appearance for the Blues having come on as a sub at Bolton last week as well as his home debut, along with central defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, who started last week’s 1-1 draw at the Macron Stadium.

The Irishman will line-up in the centre of midfield alongside Callum Connolly with Spence, who is back from his three-game ban, at right-back, with Iorfa unavailable against his parent club.
