Ipswich have had a decent start to life back in the Premier League, as they sit four points and four places above the relegation zone.
That would have been their ambition come the end of the season, and a win here would make them believe even more they can do it.
Gary O'Neil will be pleased with how his team is playing, although one thing that will concern him is that they have conceded 18 goals, and kept no clean sheets.
The Tractor Boys may welcome back Sasa Lukic having trained all week, and they have no fresh injury concerns.
Bournemouth have also received a boost as Alex Scott has started training, but he is unavailable for this game.
So are Alex Toth, Julian Araujo, Juanlu Sanchez and Veljko Milosavljevic, but Marco Rose still has a strong squad to choose from.
Having rotated in the Europa League and still won, the Cherries are fresh for this one and will aim to continue a run of victories that have seen them rise to eighth.
Bournemouth are just outside of the European places, and three points could take them into the top seven.
