Crown Ground will host Saturday’s League One game between Accrington and Ipswich Town. The Accy Stanley have been playing some exciting games of late. Following a 4-1 loss to Wigan, Accrington played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Morecambe, while suffering a heavy 5-1 loss at Oxford United on Tuesday evening. Head coach John Coleman could opt to make changes to the team that suffered the midweek loss, with both Nolan and Pell pushing for a start.
The Tractor Boys, on the other hand, rolled over Doncaster 6-0 in their last league match, and seeing that they are eager to escape the danger zone, away win should be considered. A man to watch in the away team will be Wales midfielder Lee Evans, who scored a hat-trick against Doncaster, while Mecauley Bonne should continue to lead the line for the visitors.
