Ipswich lineup vs. Crystal Palace: Predicted XI for Premier League showdown

Three changes from McKenna? Predicted Ipswich XI against Palace

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Ipswich Town could line up for Tuesday's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna is likely to make at least a couple of alterations for Tuesday's Premier League showdown with Crystal Palace at Portman Road.

The Tractor Boys lost their three-game unbeaten streak in a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, where Axel Tuanzebe had to come off in the dying embers with a hamstring problem.

McKenna has now confirmed that Tuanzebe's issue is a severe one that will sideline him for the long-term, while Janoi Donacien (ankle), George Hirst (knee) and Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles) are also absent.

Jacob Greaves. Kalvin Phillips and Ben Johnson - the latter two of whom are training again - are also facing races against time to prove their fitness, although Johnson could be a straight swap for Tuanzebe if he is given the thumbs-up.

However, Harry Clarke is another like-for-like replacement and stepped in for Tuanzebe at the end of Saturday's game, so the 23-year-old should get the nod from McKenna to line up against the Eagles.

Clarke for Tuanzebe may be the only change to an otherwise unaltered backline of Cameron Burgess, Leif Davis, Arijanet Muric and Dara O'Shea, but Greaves will no doubt push to displace Burgess if he can make his own comeback from injury.

While Phillips gets back up to speed, Jens Cajuste and Sam Morsy should reprise their midfield partnership, while Omari Hutchinson and Liam Delap's places in attack are not under any real threat either.

McKenna may be tempted to introduce some fresh legs out wide, though, as Wes Burns and Jack Clarke are waiting in the wings and could bump Sammie Szmodics and Conor Chaplin down to the bench.

Ipswich Town possible starting lineup:
Muric; H. Clarke, O'Shea, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste; Burns, Hutchinson, J. Clarke; Delap
