Ipswich v Bournemouth: Blues boss Mick McCarthy has made three changes to his starting XI for this afternoon’s Championship visit of top-six rivals Bournemouth.
Christophe Berra and Luke Hyam – who have made 42 and 36 starts respectively this season – have dropped out through injury following Saturday’s 3-1 defeat at Watford, while Frank Nouble drops to the bench.
Middlesbrough loanee Frazer Richardson has been handed his first start for the club as a result, with Luke Chambers moving to his preferred position at centre-back.
Wingers Paul Anderson (fit again after a hamstring problem) and Stephen Hunt return to the starting line-up.
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has made two changes to his side following their 4-2 home defeat to 10-man Sheffield Wednesday on Good Friday, Elliott Ward and Charlie Daniels replacing Tommy Elphick and Ian Harte in defence.
