Both teams are just five points above the relegation zone with eight games to play. Both teams have won just twice since the turn of the year.

A win for Mick McCarthy’s men would ease growing anxiety about the potential for the club dropping out of the top two divisions for the first time in 60 years. A draw or defeat would up the pressure ahead of Tuesday night’s visit of second-bottom Wigan.
