Watch Ipswich v Southampton Online - Live HD Stream

Venue: Portman Road Date: Tuesday, 3 March Kick-off: 1945 GMT





Ipswich are without injured defenders Ben Thatcher (foot) and Moritz Volz (groin) for the visit of Southampton.

Pim Balkestein is likely to keep his place in the starting line-up, while Kevin Lisbie is pushing to start in attack after impressing at the weekend.

The Saints are likely to be unchanged for the third match in succession, following two victories.

Midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin looks likely to remain on the bench after Simon Gillett impressed in his absence.

Ipswich Town assistant manager John Gorman told BBC Suffolk former club Southampton will pose a threat:

Home form is key for Ipswich - Gorman

"It's a great club with wonderful support. They've always had a good academy and their policy of using the youth is working for them - they've got some quality lads there."

Ipswich goalkeeper Richard Wright will also be up against his former club:

"The game on Tuesday night is one I want to get three points from. On the other hand I want Southampton to stay in this division, but after Tuesday night."
