Ipswich have three games to ensure their promotion back to the Premier League at the first attempt and will be keen to avenge a 3-0 home defeat to Charlton when the teams meet again at The Valley on Wednesday.

Nathan Jones’ side made the 50-point mark with a draw at basement boys Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, but they have lost five of their last six games at the south-east London base and would love some more breathing space at the bottom of the Championship table.

Team news

Charlton have reported no fresh injury news, but it would be a surprise if Jones did not shuffle the pack as the Londoners aim to end a run of six Championship matches without a win.

The Tractor Boys have plenty of players champing at the bit to be involved in the run-in and it is a great time for them to have a relatively empty treatment room.

Wes Burns missed Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough but is expected to be available for selection.

Prediction

It looks like it will be an epic fight to join Coventry in the Premier League, with four teams fighting it out for the second Championship automatic-promotion berth, and a game in hand could be vital for Ipswich, as they look to hold off Millwall, Southampton and Middlesbrough.

The Tractor Boys will be in second spot if they can win at Charlton on Wednesday and the signs are good for the Tractor Boys, who have suffered just one defeat in their last 11 games, which came at Portsmouth in their last away fixture.

But while Pompey have got their act together to drag themselves away from trouble with three straight wins, the Addicks are having a wobble and are still searching for that win that would finally ensure their survival.

They have failed to win in their last six games and have lost five of their last six at The Valley, so there are still a few nerves with three games to go.

Nathan Jones’ side have made a habit of finding the net, but they are still struggling to create opportunities.

They may be able to notch again, they beat Ipswich 3-0 at Portman Road earlier in the season, but it looks likely that the visitors will return to Suffolk with the points.
