Town’s leading scorer Jon Stead says he is looking forward to returning to Sheffield United, the club he left to join Town in the summer.
Stead: "I joined the club when they were in the Premier League and scored some goals and really enjoyed my time there.
"As time went on my chances became more limited but looking back on my stay at Sheffield, I thoroughly enjoyed it. There are some great people there and I'm looking forward to going back.
"I was disappointed with the number of chances I got under the manager there but I left on good terms. The fans were always great to me. They realise that I needed to get more games and I wouldn't have changed the move to Ipswich for the world.
"It's obviously a big game for both clubs. They need the points to keep their Play-Off push going and we know we need to win most if not all our games left to have a chance of finishing in the top six.
"We have played well away though and have proved we can go to places like Wolves and Reading and get a result so we will go there with confidence."
