Ipswich Town

Only recently was the championship race considered over, given Leicester City's level of dominance. However, the tide has turned, bringing Ipswich within an arm's reach of the top spot. Having suffered only one loss in their last 17 matches at Portman Road. The team, however, will have to do without Lewis Travis due to suspension.

Bristol City

While Liam Manning's side currently sit in 13th position, a mere six points separate them from the drop zone, which under certain circumstances, could quickly be eliminated. Being 12 points adrift of the play-off zone suggests it's unlikely they will get promoted this season. A continuation of their losing streak might even lead to the head coach's position being vacated. Scott Twine, who is nursing a muscle injury, will miss this match.
