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.
