Ipswich Town will be hoping to take a huge step towards promotion to the Premier League as they face Coventry City on Tuesday evening.

The Tractor Boys currently sit third in the Championship but are level on points with Leeds United in second and have this game in hand.

Just four points from their final two games would be enough to see Ipswich return to the top flight for the first time since their relegation in 2002.

Manager Keiran McKenna has done an excellent job at the club, as this could be their second consecutive promotion, having finished second in League One in the 2022/23 season.

Their opponents, Coventry City, are on a poor run of form, having managed just one point from the last four games: a nil-nil draw against Blackburn Rovers.

Before their turn of results, Coventry were eyeing up a play-off push, but in the same week that their FA Cup dreams were shattered, Hull City took those dreams away from them too.

Coventry will only have two centre-backs available for the game, as Liam Kitching will be serving a three-game suspension following his red card on Saturday and Luis Binks is out injured.

This game may also come too soon for Victor Torp and Ben Sheaf, as they both were missing from the match-day squad at Ewood Park.

Ipswich’s injury situation is much less problematic, with Brandon Williams the only major absentee, with Wes Burns and George Hurst having returned in their previous game.
