Ipswich – Wolves preview: latest form, news, and potential lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Ipswich vs Wolves lineups.
Ipswich
Ipswich got promoted from League One just last spring and they have enjoyed an amazing start to the new campaign in the Championship too. Last Saturday threw away a 3-1 lead when hosting Blackburn but still found a way to win 4-3 in the end.
The Tractor Boys have been on fire all season. They played 10 official matches in all competitions and 9 of those resulted in wins.
Ipswich achieved all that without their injured main goalkeeper Walton. He’s training again but as Slicker has been so impressive the latter could start again. The main-back Davis picked up a knock on Saturday and could sit out.
Some other changes to the lineup are possible. Ladapo pushes for a recall up front. This seems likely with Jackson still questionable due to a groin issue. Winger Hutchinson has impressed off the bench too and he could be rewarded with a start in the coming match.
Predicted Lineup:
Slicker (GK), Ball, Wolfenden, Burgess, Williams, Taylor, Luongo, Hutchinson, Chaplin, Broadhead & Ladapo
Wolves
Wolves had to work extra hard on Saturday to earn a deserved 1-1 draw vs Luton in the Premier League. Wolves were reduced to ten men in this match and the point they collected was a good one.
Still, with only one win in six rounds, Wolves remain under significant pressure in the league.
All the focus this season will be on survival and the manager already confirmed that the cup competitions will be for the reserves to get chances to impress him.
Coach O’Neil said he will give some of the fringe players an opportunity in this match. Also, recently signed Santiago Bueno could be involved for the first time.
Wolves have no injury issues but their main centre forward Bellegarde misses the game suspended. This is not a major problem as he wasn’t expected to start anyway.
Predicted Lineup:
Bentley (GK), Doherty, Kilman, Gomes, Bueno, J. Silva, Traore, F. Silva, Sarabia, Hwang & Kalajdzic
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.

Player to Watch: Pablo Sarabia
Once of PSG Pablo Sarabia hasn’t started many games for the Wolves this season. The talented creative playmaker is an undisputed talent though and he is expected to start now.
One sure way for Sarabia to make a claim for more use in the Premier League is to impress in the coming match. That’s why we back him to do just that and put his name in the mind of the gaffer for future selections.
