Ipswich v Leeds

Last updated : 02 October 2010 By BBC Sport

Leeds winger Robert Snodgrass is available again after serving a ban.

Amdy Faye and Ramon Nunez have been waiting for their first appearances for the club and could play, but keeper Kasper Schmeichel (foot) is still out.

MATCH PREVIEW

After seeing his side lose two of their last four matches, Ipswich boss Roy Keane will be looking for them to get back to winning ways.

Tuesday's 1-0 loss at Reading ended Town's unbeaten away record, and continued their strange run of failing to score in the first half of matches.

Ipswich are still waiting for a first-half goal in the league this season. In fact, including last term, Keane's team have scored in the opening 45 minutes in only one of their last 13 league outings.

On Saturday they face a Leeds side who suffered an incredible 6-4 defeat at home to struggling Preston in midweek, having led 4-1. That was the second tier's first 10-goal match since Ipswich beat Crewe 6-4 six-and-a-half years ago.
