Leeds v Ipswich

Last updated : 11 March 2011 By BBC Sport

Ipswich include Kieron Dyer in their squad following his return to the Suffolk club on loan from West Ham.

Town are without suspended captain David Norris, while Jimmy Bullard (hamstring) faces a late fitness test.

MATCH PREVIEW

Ipswich are unbeaten in the last seven encounters between these clubs ,but head to Elland Road as definite underdogs given their recent results and Leeds United's form - especially at home.

Leeds are unbeaten in 11 league matches at Elland Road - a run that stretches back to October - and Tuesday's away win against Preston left them fifth in the table and only three points away from the automatic promotion spots.

The Yorkshire side, who walloped Doncaster 5-2 in their last home match, boast the Championship's best attacking record. They have scored 69 league goals this season, had more shots on target than any other team in the division, failed to score in only four games, and have netted three or more goals in 10 of their 36 matches.

That underlines the task facing Ipswich, who enjoyed a brilliant run following Paul Jewell's appointment as manager but have found the going tough of late.

Town were beaten 3-1 at home by Reading in midweek, and have lost three of their last four games.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

• Leeds have won 25 and Ipswich 17 of the 57 league meetings between these clubs.

• Ipswich won 2-1 at Elland Road in October, so a victory on Saturday would complete the club's first league 'double' over Leeds since the 1981/82 season.

Leeds

• A victory for Leeds would take the number of league points they have won under boss Simon Grayson past the 200 mark, to 201.

• United have picked up an unrivalled 16 points this season from matches in which they conceded more than one goal.

• Grayson's side, who have had 260 shots on target this term, have been shown more cards in Championship matches than any other team (70 yellow, three red).

• Alex Bruce and Richard Naylor could face their former club.

Ipswich

• Ipswich have won only one of their last five games.

• They are yet to win a league match this season without scoring more than one goal, but have won all the games in which they have scored more than once.
