Newcastle – Ipswich

Newcastle host Ipswich in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture, with the Magpies sitting tenth on five points after one win and two draws, scoring six and conceding four. Ipswich sit just above them in ninth place, having amassed six points from two victories but suffering two defeats, leaving them with a less flattering goal difference of seven for and ten against. The two sides are separated by a single point, so a win for either club could see them leapfrog the other in the table. Historically the encounter has been close, and with both teams eager to improve their standing, the match is likely to be decided by fine margins.
