Full Strength for Town - Ipswich Town News

Town are unlikely to be resting anyone for tonight's game with Manchester City at Maine Road. Marcus Stewart has been left out of Town's other Worthington Cup games, but he seems certain to partner James Scowcroft up front.

Town have only two players missing with injury from the squad that has travelled to the North-West for tonight's match and the Liverpool game on Sunday. John Scales has the hamstring and back injuries suffered in the reserve game at Derby last week, while Titus Bramble has an ankle injury acquired in training. Alun Armstrong will not be involved this evening as he is cup-tied having played for Middlesbrough earlier in the season against Macclesfield.

The Town side is likely to be as at Liverpool: R Wright, Wilnis, Hreidarsson, McGreal, Venus, Holland, Magilton, J Wright, Stewart and Scowcroft. Subs from Branagan, Salmon, Reuser, Croft, Karic and Johnson.

Ipswich Town 0-3 Charlton Athletic - Match Report
Town suffered their biggest home Championship loss since April 2018 as newly promoted Charlton Athletic netted three times in the second half to shock the Blues 3-0. The home side had been the better side in the first half, albeit with the visitors having two of the period’s three best chances, but the Blues fell apart in the second after Sonny Carey had given the Addicks the lead on 52 with Macaulay Gillesphey and Miles Leaburn adding goals on 55 and 64 to inflict the Town’s first Portman Road defeat of the season and their biggest Championship loss on their own turf since the 4-0 loss to Aston Villa more than seven years ago.
