Swansea skipper Garry Monk is back in training after a calf problem but is unlikely to feature at Portman Road.
Loan signing Jermaine Easter, who missed the defeat against Portsmouth because of a thigh complaint, faces a late fitness test.
MATCH PREVIEW
These clubs were in the top flight when Ipswich recorded their last league victory against Swansea: a 3-1 win at Portman Road over 28 years ago. And while Swansea are third and strongly challenging for a return to that level, Ipswich are enduring a miserable spell.
Town have a Carling Cup semi-final against Arsenal to look forward to, having beaten West Brom in midweek. But in the league, they are enduring their worst run of results since Roy Keane took over as manager.
The pressure is on Keane following four consecutive defeats - one of which was a 4-1 thrashing by local rivals Norwich. No Championship side has lost five in a row so far this season.
City, unbeaten in five away matches, boast the division's second best defensive record behind leaders Queens Park Rangers. Swansea have conceded only 16 goals this season and have kept 10 clean sheets.
