Pre-match preview

Ipswich Town

Abdul Fatawu will miss the Tractor Boys' meeting with Fulham through suspension after receiving a red card. The winger had started all five of Ipswich Town's recent matches, so his absence requires a change on the right.

Christian Walton and Abdoul Ouattara are both expected to keep their places after making their first starts in the last five matches during the defeat at Everton. Ouattara should continue at right-back, with Dara O'Shea also remaining in defence. Further forward, Emersonn is expected to lead the attack after scoring twice and providing an assist across his last five outings, with Jaden Philogene, Julio Enciso and Daizen Maeda behind him.

Fulham

Antonee Robinson is doubtful for the Cottagers' trip to Ipswich because of an ankle injury, and Ryan Sessegnon is expected to fill his place at left-back. Sessegnon has not started any of Fulham's last five matches.

On the other side of the back four, Kenny Tete is expected to return after missing the match against Manchester United with concussion, taking over from Timothy Castagne. Gonzalo García and Josh King, who have scored once and twice respectively in the last five matches, are expected to keep their places further forward. Oscar Bobb should also start again after beginning each of Fulham's five recent games out wide.
