Ipswich get their 2017/18 Championship season under way at home to Birmingham, hoping to improve on a disappointing campaign last time out.

The Tractor Boys finished the 2016/17 season down in 16th, but three homes games against Birmingham, Brentford and Fulham in August give them the platform to succeed this time around.

October 21 is a date for the diary for Ipswich fans, with Norwich travelling to Suffolk for the first East Anglian derby of the season, with the reverse fixture taking place in mid-February.
