Town boss Paul Lambert has made four changes as the Blues face Birmingham City at Portman Road.

Josh Emmanuel returns for James Bree at right-back with James Collins at the centre of the defence alongside skipper Luke Chambers with Toto Nsiala among the subs.

In midfield, Flynn Downes and Trevoh Chalobah drop to the bench with Cole Skuse set to take up his usual deeper role, while Gwion Edwards returns from a groin injury to take up his position on the right of the front three with Andre Dozzell returning to the central trio.

Birmingham make two changes from the team which drew 1-1 with Sheffield United in midweek with Kerim Mrabti and Jota taking over from Jacques Maghoma and Connor Mahoney.

Even if Town beat the Midlanders, results elsewhere this weekend could confirm relegation to the third tier for the first time in 62 years.

Town: Bialkowski, Emmanuel, Chambers (c), Collins, Kenlock, Skuse, Dozzell, Bishop, Judge, Edwards, Quaner. Subs: Gerken, Chalobah, Jackson, Downes, Nsiala, Bree, El Mizouni.

Birmingham: Camp, Colin, Dean, Morrison (c), Pedersen, Jota, G Gardner, Davis, Mrabti, Adams, Jutkiewicz. Subs: Trueman, Harding, Roberts, C Gardner, Maghoma, Mahoney, Vassell Referee: Jeremy Simpson (Lancashire).
