Six Changes For Town at Swansea - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Kieran McKenna has made six changes for this afternoon’s game at Swansea City with Leif Davis among those coming into the XI.
Davis missed the 1-1 midweek draw with Watford due to a hamstring problem but returns in his usual left-back role.
Jacob Greaves comes in as left centre-half, while Jack Taylor is in central midfield, Kasey McAteer on the right, Marcelino Nunez as the number 10 and Jack Clarke on the left.
Ben Johnson, Cedric Kipre, Jens Cajuste, Sindre Walle Egeli, Chuba Akpom and Jaden Philogene all drop to the bench. Cameron Humphreys misses out on a place in the 20 following Davis’s return.
The Swans make three changes from the team which was beaten 2-1 at Preston on Wednesday with eight-goal top scorer Zan Vipotnik and winger Zeidane Inoussa returning to the team, and left-back Ishe Samuels-Smith handed his first Championship start. Liam Cullen, Kaelan Casey and Adam Idah all drop to the bench.
