Ipswich Town vs Leeds United Championship Match Preview: Probable Lineups, Prediction, Tactics, Team News & Key Stats

Portman Road will play host to the first of the relegated Premier League teams in the shape of Leeds United on Saturday. Gone are the days of Bielsaball, with a merry-go-round of managers having been unable to maintain the Whites Premier League status.

Town boss Kieran McKenna felt his table-topping side were “bang at it” as they comprehensively defeated Shrewsbury 3-0 at Montgomery Waters Meadow, despite a week in which they’ve had two lengthy away trips.

Town boss Kieran McKenna has made five changes from the team which won 1-0 at Burton on Tuesday for this afternoon’s game at Shrewsbury.

A brilliant Tyreece John-Jules goal has given the Blues a 1-0 half-time lead against Shrewsbury at Montgomery Waters Meadow.

Goals from Tyreece John-Jules, Conor Chaplin and Kayden Jackson saw top-of-the-table Town to a comfortable 3-0 victory at Shrewsbury and four wins on the trot for the first time since September and October 2019. The Blues, who remain a point clear at the top of League One, went ahead in the 22nd minute when John-Jules created himself a brilliant first goal for the club, then Chaplin added the second seven minutes after the restart and sub Jackson netted the third in injury time.

The Blues and QPR remain locked at 0-0 at half-time at Loftus Road.

Hard-fought is the new routine, manager Kieran McKenna said following the top-of-the-table Blues’ 1-0 win at QPR, their third victory in three games since they returned to the Championship.

Conor Chaplin’s first goal of the season saw Town maintain their 100 per cent start to their season and stay top of the Championship as the Blues beat QPR 1-0 at Loftus Road. Chaplin reacted sharply to his first shot being blocked in the 75th minute to claim all three points and set a new club unbeaten all-competitions record of 21 matches, surpassing a run achieved in the 1980/81 campaign.

QPR boss Gareth Ainsworth felt there was nothing in the Blues’ 1-0 victory over his side and was gutted they didn’t take something from the match.
