Ipswich vs Cardiff lineups
Ipswich
Ipswich bounced back from last weekend's loss to Leeds by defeating Reading on penalties a few days ago; they've now won five of their last six matches in all competitions. Kieran McKenna will look to steer his team to another victory as Cardiff come calling. He'll be pleased to have a healthy group of players to choose from, as Ipswich have no players sidelined for this match.
Predicted lineups: Slicker, Ball, Edmundson, Baggott, Harness, Evans, Taylor, Williams, Hutchinson, Ladapo, Humphreys.
Cardiff
On the other hand, Cardiff are coming off back-to-back wins against Birmingham and Sheffield Wednesday. However, they don't particularly have a great record in the Championship, having won just one of four matches so far. As the Welsh side take on newly-promoted Ipswich, it'll be interesting to see if they can string up three consecutive wins. Ryan Allsop is recovering from a knock, and is expected to be out for a few days.
Predicted lineups: Rúnarsson, Tanner, Romeo, Adams, Ng, Grant, Sawyers, Wintle, Rinomhota, Colwill, Etete.

Player to watch: Conor Chaplin
It's important to point out that Conor Chaplin was one of Ipswich's best players last season; he was the top-scorer in League One, as his 26 goals helped fire the team back to the Championship. Bearing that in mind, Chaplin found the back of the net in his last two Championship matches; he'll set his sights on another goal against Cardiff today.
