Watford boss Adie Boothroyd: “I am wary of Ipswich because they will be playing with no pressure. It can be dangerous to face a team like that particularly when they are playing away from home, Ipswich are in a transitional period but they have a very successful management team and some very good players. “When teams are in transition they get days when they can be absolutely average and days when they are fantastic and everything clicks, so we've got to make sure we stop them from clicking.” Match Odds: Officials:
