Brentford travel to Portman Road looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to six games.

Victories over Manchester United, Nottingham Forest and Brighton in recent weeks, plus draws against Arsenal and Chelsea, have given Thomas Frank’s men a chance to secure an eighth-placed finish and a possible chance of playing in the Conference League next season.

For already-relegated Ipswich, they will be aiming to finish their first season back in the top flight for more than two decades strongly as they prepare for life in the Championship next term.

Read on to see how the two teams line up for this clash.

Ipswich Town team news

Boss Kieran McKenna insisted neither him nor his players will “accept anything else” than fighting for every game despite being relegated.

McKenna called it “the minimum requirement between now and end of the season”. As such, he opts for a strong starting team that includes goal threats in Liam Delap and Julio Enciso.

In defence, Axel Tuanzebe comes into the starting XI with Luke Woolfenden dropping to the bench.
