BLUES boss Jim Magilton has the luxury of being able to field the same side for the third game running and has named a squad of 18 for the trip to Championship leaders Stoke City.

Although Magilton admits he is tempted to stay the same he hinted he could pull of a surprise selection.

Magilton said: “Stoke will be expecting us to play the same team so we may just surprise them with one or two.”

Stoke are hoping to complete the signing of Sunderland keeper Martin Fulop on loan for the rest of the season and he would be eligible to play against Town.

Ipswich Town squad: Bywater, Colgan, Bruce, Harding, Wright, Sito, De Vos, Naylor, Trotter, Garvan, Miller, Sumulikoski, Norris, Quinn, Haynes, Counago, Lee, Walters.
