Dozzell, Bishop, Nsiala and Donacien in Action for U23s - Ipswich Town News

Andre Dozzell, Teddy Bishop, Toto Nsiala and Janoi Donacien will all feature when the Blues’ table-topping U23s take on second-placed QPR at Playford Road this afternoon (KO 1pm).

Gerard Nash’s side will be looking to get back to winning ways after losing for only the second time this season when they were beaten 2-0 at Millwall a fortnight ago. They remain unbeaten at home.

The West Londoners are two points behind Town in the Professional Development League Two South table, also having lost only twice during 2018/19. The teams drew 2-2 in the fixture at QPR’s Harlington training ground in October.

U23s: Wright, Cotter, Kenlock, Nsiala, Donacien, Dozzell (c), Rowe, El Mizouni, Drinan, Bishop, Folami. Subs: Egan, McGavin, Ndaba, McLoughlin, K Brown.
