Ipswich Town v Derby County
Tom Lawrence has not scored in 10 Championship games but scored in the 2-2 home draw against Southampton in the FA CupFollow live text coverage from 19:15 GMT on Wednesday
Ipswich are without striker Freddie Sears, who has been ruled out for up to a year with a cruciate knee injury.
Defender Luke Chambers (foot) is a doubt but forward Collin Quaner (hamstring) should return and winger Gwion Edwards (groin) could feature.
Derby County striker Jack Marriott (illness) and winger Tom Lawrence (calf) should both be back.
Goalkeeper Scott Carson is out with a thigh strain, while midfielder Mason Mount has a hamstring problem.
Derby County manager Frank Lampard:
"I'm trying to feel the momentum of five games unbeaten as it can stop very quickly.
"We're picking up the positives from those results, but absolutely keeping focus on what's ahead of us.
"We're using the momentum in the right way, but absolutely understanding that a trip to Ipswich where everyone will expect us to win, is far from it unless we produce our best game.
"We have to take the game at face value and bring our best."
