Ipswich vs Leeds United preview - Hunt out for Town

Ipswich goal hero Noel Hunt is ineligible to face his parent club Leeds after signing on loan at Portman Road last month.

The striker scored the winner in the Tractor Boys' last-gasp 1-0 victory at Charlton last week but will sit out on Saturday.

Kevin Bru is still out with an ankle injury but Christophe Berra is back from suspension.

Short-term signing Jack Collison remains out with a knee injury as the club assess his fitness.

Leeds head coach Neil Redfearn is waiting on the fitness of two unnamed players before finalising his squad.

Redfearn must decide whether to recall skipper Jason Pearce in central defence after opting for Giuseppe Bellusci alongside Liam Cooper in last week's win against Derby.

Other than the two players hoping to shake off knocks, Redfearn has no other new injury or suspension worries as his side bids for back-to-back league wins for only the second time this season.

Midfielders Rudy Austin and Michael Tonge remain in contention, while striker Billy Sharp is hoping to force his way into the starting line-up.
