Ipswich Town prepare to entertain Brighton & Hove Albion at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Tractor Boys are clearly on top, having won 18 and lost only 4 of the 28 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Portman Road was just last season, in November 2004, the Tractor Boys carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Championship match.
