Ipswich Town host Reading in a Championship match tomorrow afternoon (3pm).

Mick McCarthy spoke to the press ahead of the game this lunchtime.

Town – who have won six of their 10 league games at Portman Road – are looking to bounce back following last weekend’s 2-0 defeat at Middlesbrough, a result which saw the gap to the play-off places widen to five points.

Reading finished third last season before eventually losing to Huddersfield in the Play-Off Final at Wembley.

Jaap Stam’s side had a slow start to this season, but are beginning to pick up and come into this game on the back of a five-game unbeaten run.
