Former Millwall manager Mick McCarthy has been busy in the transfer window and could add Shaun Cummings to his squad after the defender’s contract with the Lions expired at the end of June.
Young right-back Dominic Iorfa joined the Tractor Boys on loan from Wolves and Manchester City prospect, Kosovo international Bersant Celina, will add competition in midfield after also signing a loan deal.
Tom Adeyemi and Emyr Huws both arrived from Cardiff City after the latter had a successful loan spell with Ipswich in the second half of 2016-17. Norwich’s rivals struggled to a disappointing 16th-place finish last season.
The last time the sides met two goals in the opening 15 minutes from Noel Hunt put Ipswich in control, before Jonathan Parr scored in the second half after Magaye Gueye had pulled one back before half-time.
