Christophe Berra and Luke Hyam miss out through injury as the Blues take on fellow play-off contenders AFC Bournemouth at Portman Road.

Anthony Wordsworth continues in central midfield with Paul Anderson returning on the right and Stephen Hunt on the left, with Frank Nouble dropping to the bench. Second-choice keeper Scott Loach is back in the 18 after missing Saturday’s game at his former club Watford.

Town: Gerken, Richardson, Chambers (c), Smith, Cresswell, Skuse, Wordsworth, Anderson, Hunt, Williams, Murphy. Subs: Loach, Green, Mings, Tabb, Taylor, Marriott, Nouble.

AFC Bournemouth: Camp, Francis (c), Cook, Ward, Daniels, Surman, O'Kane, Pugh, Ritchie, Kermorgant, Grabban. Allsop, Elphick, Harte, Smith, MacDonald, Fraser, Rantie. Referee: Andy D'Urso (Billericay).

TimmyH added 14:32 - Apr 21 So from that I take it we're playing 4411 again? like to see two upfront personally if we're playing 4 in midfield. Shame about Berra as we all know he's been great, like to see Skuse 'step it up' as I've felt he hasn't been that great lately. All the best lads - 3 points we need!

Fat_Boy_Tim added 14:43 - Apr 21 Looks like a good squad, should have a goal or two in it. Mings looks like to only cover for the back 4 off the bench!
