Player to watch – Liam Delap
Wantaway striker Liam Delap has gone five games without scoring for Ipswich, though the 22-year-old continues to be heavily linked with moves to Man Utd and Chelsea, and he will be eager to impress his suitors on Sunday.
Delap a candidate in two markets
Delap has rarely been far from the action for Ipswich this season as evidenced by his 12 goals and 11 yellow cards in 35 Premier League appearances. The bristly frontman could be in the thick of things again when Town visit fellow bottom-three club Leicester on Sunday.
