In a thrilling conclusion to this weekend’s Championship fixtures, Ipswich Town faces off against Leicester City on Monday night in a match brimming with anticipation.

Once dominating the league, Ipswich has faced a recent slump, allowing Leicester to seize a commanding lead at the top. The Foxes now sit seven points clear of Ipswich, with Southampton hot on their heels in third.

A victory for Ipswich could slash the gap to just four points, reigniting their title ambitions. All eyes are on manager Kieran McKenna to make the right calls for the crucial encounter.

Here’s our predicted XI for Ipswich Town:

Goalkeeper (GK): Vaclav Hladky
Remaining the go-to choice despite Christian Walton’s return, Hladky is set to continue guarding the net.

Right Back (RB): Harry Clarke
Clarke has made the right-back position his own, and his consistent performance is expected to continue this weekend.

Center Backs (CB): Luke Woolfenden, George Edmundson
Woolfenden’s consistent presence in defense is crucial, while Edmundson steps up in the absence of Cameron Burgess, away at the Asian Cup.

Left Back (LB): Leif Davis
A standout performer at left-back this season with 12 assists, Davis remains a key asset for Ipswich.

Central Midfielders (CM): Lewis Travis, Samy Morsy
Travis, a recent addition, continues his midfield duties alongside Morsy, returning from suspension to fortify Ipswich’s midfield.

Right Wing (RW): Wes Burns
Burns aims to boost his goal tally as he takes his position on the right for Ipswich.

Central Forward (CF): Conor Chaplin
Chaplin’s impressive record of nine goals and seven assists cements his place as a key figure in the starting XI.

Left Wing (LW): Nathan Broadhead
Broadhead, with eight goals, solidifies his claim to the left-wing position in Ipswich’s attacking lineup.

Striker (ST): Kayden Jackson
With George Hirst sidelined, Jackson leads the line, tasked with spearheading Ipswich’s attack.

As Ipswich seeks to bridge the gap, McKenna’s lineup choices will play a pivotal role in determining their fate against a formidable Leicester City.”
