Town boss Kieran McKenna has made one change for this afternoon’s top-of-the-table live-on-Sky game against Leeds United at Elland Road with Axel Tuanzebe coming in for Luke Woolfenden.

Tuanzebe joins Cameron Burgess at the heart of the defence for second-placed Town with Woolfenden dropping to the bench, where there is one further change with Dominic Ball coming in and Dane Scarlett left out of the 20.

Leeds, who are third, name the same side as drew 1-1 at home to Coventry a week ago but with Ian Poveda and Junior Firpo replacing Jaidon Anthony and Luke Ayling among the subs.

Leeds: Meslier, Gray, Spence, Struijk (c), Rodon, Ampadu, Kamara, James, Summerville, Rutter, Piroe. Subs: Darlow, Firpo, Cooper, Bamford, Poveda, Gnonto, Gelhardt, Gruev, Joseph.

Town: Hladky, Clarke, Tuanzebe, Burgess, Davis, Morsy (c), Luongo, Burns, Chaplin, Broadhead, Hirst. Subs: Walton, Williams, Woolfenden, Ball, Taylor, Hutchinson, Harness, Jackson, Ladapo. Referee: Stephen Martin (Staffordshire).

Suffolkboy added 12:35 - Dec 23 Losing good squad members ,and ITFC blues.is always tinged with sadness and regret ; but in KM and Co we have probably the best and most focused Management team . Planning for progress is exciting but hard headed decisions become part of the game . ITFC will institute changes ,the makeup of the playing squad will evolve , just as the’background ‘ team sees change . COYB

Linkboy13 added 13:33 - Dec 23 I thought we might have learned from the first game against Leeds where we struggled against their powerful and skilful forwards but we are already 3 nil down. Im not blaming McKenna or the coaching staff he can only work with what he's got but i think we should be targeting defenders not strikers in the transfer window after all we are the top scorers in the championship. Wouldn't be surprised if Walton gets recalled very shortly which won't go down well on here as Hladky is popular with the fans and Walton for some reason although not making few if any bad mistakes isn't.
