Ipswich Town host Nottingham Forest at Portman Road in a Premier League clash, with both sides seeking crucial points following recent defeats. Gary O'Neil's Ipswich look to bounce back from a narrow 3-2 loss to Manchester City, while Oliver Glasner's Nottingham Forest aim to stop a three-match losing run that has left them 19th in the table after a 1-0 loss to Arsenal.

Ipswich are expected to field a full-strength lineup in a 4-2-3-1 formation, featuring Julio Enciso and striker Emersonn.
