Ipswich v Huddersfield: Blues boss Mick McCarthy has made two changes to his starting line-up for this afternoon’s Championship game against Huddersfield Town at Portman Road.
Following Tuesday night’s 3-1 home win over Blackburn, McCarthy has recalled striker Daryl Murphy and midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe, with wingers Carlos Edwards and Stephen Hunt dropping to the bench.
It sees a switch to a 4-3-3 formation for Ipswich, McCarthy ditching his favoured 4-4-2 system and playing 4-3-3 to combat Huddersfield’s wing-back system.
The Terriers – level on points with Ipswich in the table – have won their last three matches. Manager Mark Robins has made just one chnage to the side which won 1-0 at Bolton midweek, Adam Clayton (available again following a one-game suspension) replacing Keith Southern in midfield.
