Ipswich have lost just one of their last ten matches
Leicester have not kept a clean sheet in their last 14 games
Recommended bet: Ipswich to win
Leicester have been falling well below pre-season expectations but they have an opportunity to kick-start their season when taking on fourth-placed Ipswich at the King Power Stadium.
Adjusting to the Championship has been tougher than expected for the Foxes, who find themselves in the bottom half after winning only four of their last 16 league matches.
Marti Cifuentes’s team have taken four points from their last two fixtures but were left frustrated by Wednesday’s 2-2 draw at Bristol City after squandering a two-goal half-time lead.
Ipswich had a more positive midweek experience as they ground out a 1-0 home win over Stoke.
The Tractor Boys have climbed into the play-off places but they will be aware of the need to be more productive on their travels having triumphed on just three of nine Championship road trips.
