Ipswich Town prepare to entertain Crystal Palace at Portman Road on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Tractor Boys are clearly on top, having won 19 and lost only 9 of the 37 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Portman Road was less than a year ago, in September 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
