Latest Ipswich Town vs Brentford team information
Ipswich left-back Leif Davis will serve the final game of his three-match ban, while Nathan Broadhead, Conor Townsend (hamstring), Jaden Philogene, Wes Burns (knee), Arijanet Muric (shoulder), Sammie Szmodics (ankle) and Chiedozie Ogbene (calf) all remain sidelined through injury.
Ben Johnson returns from suspension and will compete for a starting spot at right-back with Axel Tuanzebe – who has just recovered from a thigh injury – while Dara O'Shea has come in as a temporary replacement in the last two games.
Jacob Greaves is expected to continue at left-back, replacing Davis and Townsend. Jens Cajuste could replace Jack Taylor in central midfield. George Hirst will be in contention for a starting spot after scoring last week, but is unlikely to replace key striker Liam Delap.
For Brentford, Vitaly Janelt (ankle), Josh Dasilva (knee), Fabio Carvalho (shoulder) and Aaron Hickey (hamstring) remain sidelined. However, Igor Thiago is available after a lengthy spell out with a knee injury.
However, Thiago is unlikely to start as the attacking trio of Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa and Kevin Schade – each of whom has scored more than 10 Premier League goals this season – are in fine form and are almost certain to start. They will be supported by playmaker Mikkel Damsgaard just behind them.
Rico Henry has come off the bench in the last three games and manager Thomas Frank could consider handing him his first start of the season, replacing Keane Lewis-Potter. Mathias Jensen could start in midfield in place of Yehor Yarmolyuk.

Latest football commentary Ipswich Town vs Brentford
A week after being relegated from the Premier League, Ipswich Town fought back from two goals down to earn a point in a 2-2 draw with Everton at Goodison Park last weekend – their 10th draw of the season.
Kieran McKenna's side looked set for a 22nd defeat in the English top flight after Everton's Beto and Dwight McNeil struck in the opening 35 minutes, but Julio Enciso gave the visitors hope with a trademark long-range effort, before George Hirst headed home an equaliser at the far post in the second half.
Ipswich have won twice as many points away from home as they have at home this season (15 away, 7 home), but two of their remaining three games will be at Portman Road – where they have lost 10 of their last 11 home games, including seven straight defeats by an aggregate score of 5-24.
The Suffolk side have lost 12 Premier League home games this season – only bottom side Southampton (14) have lost more. Their only home win came against Chelsea (2-0) in December. Ipswich have only lost more home games in one season (13 in 1994-95).
Ipswich are determined to end their longest home losing streak in their history and can take confidence from their record against Brentford at Portman Road: they have lost just one of their seven home games against the opposition (W2 D4), with a 1-3 defeat in the Championship in April 2016.
Brentford have been on a strong run in the race for European qualification, winning their last three Premier League games – as many points in those three games as in their previous seven combined. The last time they had a longer winning streak in the top flight was in February and March 1939 (five wins in a row).
Following two convincing wins against Brighton & Hove Albion (4-2 at home) and Nottingham Forest (2-0 away), Brentford continued their dramatic 4-3 win over Manchester United last weekend, with goals coming from Kevin Schade (double) and Yoane Wissa at Gtech Community Stadium.
Thomas Frank's side have scored four or more goals in eight different Premier League games this season - the most in the competition. They have only scored four or more goals in nine games in three seasons in their history: 1930-31, 1962-63 and 1982-83.
Sitting ninth in the table and just one point behind eighth-placed Bournemouth, Brentford face Ipswich, Wolves and Fulham in their final three games, needing just one more win to reach their record number of wins in a Premier League season (currently 15, the same as 2022-23).
Brentford will be making their first trip to Portman Road since September 2018 and have every reason to be confident, having lost just one of their last 10 meetings with Ipswich (W4 D5), winning three of their last four.
