Preview: Ipswich Town vs. Leeds United

Sports Mole previews the Championship clash between second-placed Ipswich Town and Leeds United.

Ipswich Town will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Championship to seven matches when they host Leeds United at the weekend.

The Tractor Boys' recent run has lifted them up to second in the table, just a point behind leaders Derby County.

Christophe Berra will be available again after serving a suspension during their match against Charlton Athletic last weekend, having picked up his fifth booking of the season the match before.

Noel Hunt netted the winner for Ipswich against the Addicks, but he will be unavailable to feature against his parent club, having rejoined Ipswich from Leeds on loan last month.

Meanwhile, Leeds head into this match sitting 15th in the table, with just one defeat in their last four outings.

United stunned league leaders Derby County last weekend, so will be full of confidence against the in-form Ipswich on Saturday.

The build-up to this match has been dominated by news that Leeds owner Massimo Cellino has been disqualified from owning the club, although he plans to appeal the decision.

The team have reported no new injury concerns following last week's win, so could name an unchanged side for the trip.

Last season, Leeds won their match at Portman Road before sharing a draw with Ipswich at Elland Road.

Ipswich:

Form in Championship: DWWWDW
Form in all competitions: DWWWDW

Possible starting lineup: Bialkowski, Parr, Chambers, Smith, Mings, Skuse, Tabb, Berra, Anderson, McGoldrick, Murphy

Leeds:

Sports Mole says: 2-1
