Town Unchanged at Birmingham - Ipswich Town News

Town name the same team which lost 1-0 away at Bristol City prior to the international break for this afternoon’s game against Birmingham City at St Andrew’s, their first match since manager Mick McCarthy announced that he will be leaving in the summer.

Bartosz Bialkowski will be in goal with Cameron Carter-Vickers, skipper Luke Chambers and Adam Webster the back three and Jordan Spence and Jonas Knudsen the wing-backs.

Cole Skuse will play in central midfield behind Callum Connolly and Grant Ward with Martyn Waghorn and Freddie Sears up front.

Mustapha Carayol is back among the subs after his groin problem, while Australian striker Ben Folami, 18, is also on the bench.
