Town have made five changes for this afternoon’s game against Premier League champions Manchester City at Portman Road with Ben Godfrey handed his league debut and skipper Sam Morsy, Cameron Burgess, Ben Johnson and Jack Clarke returning to the team (Sky Sports, KO 4.30pm).
Godfrey takes over from Luke Woolfenden, who is left out of the 20-man party, but will probably play to the right of Dara O’Shea, who will be alongside Burgess, who comes in for Jacob Greaves who is also absent from the squad.
Johnson is wide on the right with Wes Burns on the bench and Leif Davis is on the left with Christian Walton in goal.
Morsy replaces Kalvin Phillips, who is ineligible against his parent club, alongside Jens Cajuste in midfield.
Jack Clarke replaces Nathan Broadhead, who is among the subs, alongside Omari Hutchinson with Liam Delap starting as the number nine.
Jaden Philogene is on the bench having signed from Aston Villa in midweek, as is Axel Tuanzebe after returning from his hamstring injury.
City make four changes from the 2-2 draw with Brentford in midweek with Ederson, Ruben Dias, Ilkay Gundogan and Jeremy Doku coming in for Stefan Ortega, Nathan Ake, who has a knock, Bernardo Silva and Savinho.
Town: Walton, Johnson, Godfrey, O'Shea, Burgess, Morsy, Cajuste, Davis, Hutchinson, Clarke, Delap. Subs: Muric, Tuanzebe, Townsend, Luongo, Taylor, Burns, Philogene, Broadhead, Hirst.
Manchester City: Ederson, Nunes, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Foden, Doku, Haaland. Subs: Ortega, Grealish, Bernardo, Savinho, Mubama, Alleyne, O'Reilly, Lewis, McAtee. Referee: Sam Barrott (West Riding).
