Ipswich Town will host Watford at the Portman Road Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a phenomenal campaign and remain well on course for automatic promotion to the top flight. They were, however, beaten 1-0 by Norwich City in their last match, falling behind late in the first half and failing to find a way back into the game despite an improved second-half performance.
Ipswich Town sit second in the league table with 87 points from 41 matches. They are one point behind league leaders Leicester City and could leapfrog them with a win on Wednesday.
Watford, meanwhile, have endured a difficult run of form all year and are now mathematically unable to secure playoff football. They played out a goalless draw against Preston North End in their game at the weekend and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match.
The visitors sit mid-table in 14th place with 51 points from 41 games and will be looking to return to winning ways when they play this week.
