Town Unchanged Against QPR - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Paul Hurst has named an unchanged side for this afternoon’s home game against QPR.

That sees Matthew Pennington again starting at right-back and Janoi Donacien on the left with Jonas Knudsen on the bench, which is also unchanged from the 3-2 win at Swansea.

Skipper Luke Chambers is over the illness which a number of players have suffered from during the last week and takes his usual role at the centre of the defence, while Grant Ward, who we understand was the player who was the mystery injury doubt, is also in the XI. The Blues will be looking for their first win at Portman Road since April.

QPR make two changes from the team which drew 1-1 at home to Derby prior to the international break with Tomer Hemed and Pawel Wszolek replacing Nahki Wells and Jordan Cousins, who drop to the bench.

Town: Gerken, Pennington, Nsiala, Chambers (c), Donacien, Skuse, Chalobah, Edwards, Dozzell, Ward, Sears. Subs: Bialkowski, Knudsen, Jackson, Nolan, Graham, Downes, Lankester.

QPR: Lumley, Rangel, Leistner (c), Lynch, Bidwell, Cameron, Luongo, Freeman, Eze, Wszolek, Hemed. Subs: Ingram, Hall, Cousins, Scowen, Smith, Osayi-Samuel, Wells. Referee: Geoff Eltringham (County Durham).
