Ipswich Town can return to second spot in the championship if they can get a point or more against Wolves at Molineux tonight.

Wolves Boss Glenn Hoddle is expected to keep the same side with the side that drew with Leicester City on Saturday. Hoddle is with out Keith Andrews, Mark Clyde Matt Murray, George Ndah and Vio Ganea is in rehabilitation who are out with groin, knee, foot, thigh knee problems respectively.

Hoddle is expecting Town to come for all three points but insists his side wont be a walk over: “We know they will be coming for a win but they know we won't be taking our foot off the pedal.

“We want to finish the season with as many points as possible and we want to see the good form we have shown of late result in a win.

“It's going to be a good test for us against one of the best sides in the division. And, if the pitch allows it, a good game of football.”

Town manager Joe Royle is still with out Drissa Diallo and has a doubt over Tommy Miller although the midfielder has travelled.

Town manager Joe Royle is expecting a difficult game tonight, saying: “I expected to go into the game in third place and that's how it has turned out, we are in control of our own destiny though and that's a nice position to be in with five games to go.

“Wolves are sure to make it difficult for us tonight and have a number of experienced players in their side, international players. Carl Cort was a seven million man a few years back, Mark Kennedy I know well from Manchester City, Kenny Miller leads the line for Scotland and there's the old warhorse, Paul Ince, in midfield.

“They will have a big crowd behind them as well and will want to finish the season on a high with a few wins so we know what to expect.”
