Two Up Top For Blues at Posh - Ipswich Town News
Skipper Luke Chambers, Teddy Bishop, James Norwood and Stephen Ward return to the what looks like a 4-4-2 Town starting line-up for this evening’s game at Peterborough United.
Chambers comes in at right-back for Luke Matheson, who drops to the bench, while Ward is back on the left with Myles Kenlock among the subs.
Bishop is back in what looks to be a four-man diamond midfield with Norwood joining Troy Parrott up front, Town eschewing their usual 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 system presumably due to the tricky London Road pitch.
Former Posh wideman Gwion Edwards and Freddie Sears are also on the bench, while Luke Thomas is missing from the 18.
Peterborough are without star attacker Siriki Dembele with Mo Eisa coming into an otherwise unchanged side.
Despite being cold, there is little sign of snow in the Peterborough area and the game appears to be in no danger of being abandoned.
Peterborough: Pym, Butler, Thompson, Beevers (c), Kent, Eisa, Taylor, Clarke-Harris, Brown, Szmodics, Ward. Subs: Gyollai, Burrows, Jones, Blake-Tracy, Kanu, Hamilton, Mason.
Town: Holy, Chambers (c), Woolfenden, McGuinness, Ward, Dozzell, Downes, Bishop, Judge, Parrott, Norwood. Subs: Cornell, Kenlock, Matheson, Harrop, Edwards, Sears, Drinan. Referee: Ben Toner (Lancashire).
