United are set to give a debut to defender Neill Collins, but striker Ched Evans is struggling with illness.
Nick Montgomery (calf) is a doubt, as is Daniel Bogdanovic, who hurt his leg in a minor car accident this week.
MATCH PREVIEW
Only four games into his reign as Ipswich manager, Paul Jewell is looking for a third consecutive league victory - a feat his predecessor Roy Keane never achieved during his disappointing spell as Town boss.
Tuesday night's win against his former club Derby County made it a happy return to Pride Park for Jewell. It was also the second time since he took over that his new team have come from behind to win.
While Ipswich's fortunes have been immediately improved by Jewell's arrival, Sheffield United, who have scored fewer Championship goals than any other team, have not enjoyed a similar upturn following the recent appointment of Micky Adams. He is still awaiting his first win as Blades manager.
United have lost their last two matches, and four of their six games since Adams took charge. Tuesday's home defeat against Leicester left them in the bottom three and they are certainly in relegation form, having taken only two points from a possible 21 while teams around them have shown signs of improvement.
