We make the trip to Portman Road on Saturday to take on promotion-chasing Ipswich Town.

Here are all the key details ahead of the clash in East Anglia.

WHAT WE SAID:

"They're on a wee bit of a sticky run, but so are we," said FGR Head Coach Duncan Ferguson.

"They're a top team, scoring a lot of goals, keeping a lot of possession, holding a high line.

"They're at home, they'll have 25,000 people behind them, but hopefully we can give a good account of ourselves."

WHAT THEY SAID:

Ipswich boss, Kieran McKenna, said: "It's an important game for us - and an important game for us for different reasons.

"We're fighting for points at opposite ends of the table and we need to be ready. They will come with a game plan and a determination to get something from the game.

"They got a lot of new players in during January and for a lot of them it'll be their first time at Portman Road - and we have to make it a difficult place for them to play."

TEAM NEWS:

Jordan Moore-Taylor and Tyler Onyango will both be absent for the trip to Portman Road, while Baily Cargill remains a doubt.

Manchester United loanee Charlie Savage will be pushing for his first start in an FGR shirt after impressing from the bench on Tuesday night.
