Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Ipswich Town in 9th and Fleetwood Town in 8th place.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the League One. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Blackpool.
