Ipswich have brought back a midfield mainstay as they chase top spot at the Amex tonight.

Cole Skuse returns from a three-game absence due to illness as third-placed Town tackle Albion.

It is the only change to the XI which kicked off Saturday’s efficient 3-1 win at battling Millwall.

Skuse replaces Stephen Hunt and will operate at the base of a midfield diamond.

Town are still without David McGoldrick up front due to a knee injury but his stand-in Noel Hunt scored twice at the Den Veteran goalkeeper Paddy Kenny, signed on a short-term deal yesterday, is on the bench.

Ipswich: Bialkowski; Chambers, Smith, Berra, Mings; Skuse, Anderson, Tabb, Bru; N.Hunt, Murphy. Subs: Kenny, Parr, S.Hunt, Sears, Bishop, Clarke, Ambrose.
