Player to watch – Leif Davis

Ipswich Town's left-back Leif Davis has been in fantastic form this season, bombing up and down the left-wing and setting up his teammates from set-pieces and open play.

Davis is enjoying his second season with Tractor Boys having played a major role in their promotion to the Championship last season. The former Leeds youth player has a great left foot on him both from cross in open play and all manner of set-pieces.

Wand of a left foot

Davis currently leads the assists chart for Ipswich this season with 12, twice as many assists as his nearest teammate Conor Chaplin. We're backing Davis to impress once again this weekend and believe it will be hard for the Plymouth players to stop the left-footer from creating a host of goalscoring opportunities in this game.
