Norwich City head coach Daniel Farke has made two changes to his starting line-up for today’s East Anglian derby clash at Portman Road.

Marco Stiepermann comes in for James Husband at left-back after shaking off his groin issue and Wes Hoolahan comes into midfield in place of Mario Vrancic for the Canaries.

The game will be Hoolahan’s 10th derby, having joined in 2008 and been part of five wins and four draws, scoring in the 4-1 win at Carrow Road in November 2010 and the 3-1 home play-off success in 2015.

Ipswich make three changes from the team which started their 1-0 loss at Sheffield United, switching to a 4-3-3 formation with Jordan Spence in at right-back, former Norwich man Tom Adeyemi into midfield in place of Grant Ward and striker Joe Garner returning up front, with Miles Kenlock dropping out.

Norwich: Gunn; Pinto (C), Zimmermann, Klose, Stiepermann; Reed, Trybull; Hoolahan, Maddison, Wildschut; Jerome. Subs: McGovern (GK), Husband, Vrancic, Oliveira, Murphy, Franke, Hanley.

Ipswich: Bialkowski; Spence, Chambers (C), Webster, Knudsen; Nydam, Adeyemi, Skuse; Waghorn, Garner, McGoldrick. Subs: Gerken (GK), Iorfa, Celina, Connolly, Ward, Sears, Downes.
