Portman Road, Saturday 3.00pm

Owen Garvan

Team news

Crystal Palace left-back Dean Moxey hopes to have recovered from a virus that forced him to miss the last two games. Former Ipswich midfielder Owen Garvan could feature in the squad after recovering from a knee injury.

Ipswich defender Ibrahima Sonka is unlikely to play after sustaining a hamstring injury against Portsmouth.

Quotes

Roy Hodgson

"We'll need to keep it tight again at Ipswich this weekend but we travel to Portman Road with no pressure on us to get a result at all. Last season we went there and put in a good display but were unfortunate to come away with nothing so I'm looking forward to going back there this weekend to see if we can get something this time.

"Ipswich are doing well this season but they have invested heavily on the team so they will expect to be where they are or even higher in the table. We know it won't be an easy game but go there in good spirits and will do everything we can to get a result."
