Millwall vs Ipswich preview

during the Sky Bet Championship match between Reading and Ipswich Town at Madejski Stadium on April 28, 2018 in Reading, England.

Veteran Millwall forward Steve Morison could be in contention for a recall against Sky Bet Championship strugglers Ipswich.

Morison came off the bench to score a late winner as the Lions recovered to beat Wigan 2-1 on Tuesday night. Forward Aiden O'Brien was sent on to help inspire the second-half comeback, so he provides Millwall manager Neil Harris with another option to freshen up his team.

Defender Shaun Hutchinson made a first appearance for two months following a knee injury with a run-out for the closing stages, so should feature again.

Bryan Klug will take caretaker charge of Ipswich after they sacked Paul Hurst on Thursday. Goalkeeper Bart Bialkowski was one of seven new faces brought into the starting XI, which saw Kayden Jackson paired with Freddie Sears in attack.

Welsh midfielder Gwion Edwards, Grant Ward and Trevoh Chalobah are among those hoping to be recalled to the team. Defender Myles Kenlock (hamstring) and forward Ellis Harrison (ankle) both continue their rehabilitation programmes.
