Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap should be given the green light to return to the starting lineup when the Tractor Boys host Arsenal in Sunday's Premier League battle at Portman Road.

The highly-coveted marksman was only a substitute in the 2-2 draw with Chelsea last week, having struggled with a rib injury prior to the trip to Stamford Bridge.

However, having been fit enough to come off the bench in West London, Delap ought to be fine to reclaim his rightful place at the tip of Kieran McKenna's attack as George Hirst makes way.

The Tractor Boys may have been banking on Omari Hutchinson's return from a thigh issue, which would have been incredibly timely given that Jaden Philogene went off with a knee injury in last weekend's four-goal thriller, but the ex-Arsenal product has been ruled out of this one too.

As a result, Jack Clarke should line up alongside Ben Johnson and Julio Enciso from the outset; the latter two both scored and assisted each other in the draw with Chelsea.

As Kalvin Phillips is struggling with an Achilles issue, Sam Morsy and Jens Cajuste should operate in midfield, while Cameron Burgess and Dara O'Shea are primed to pair up at centre-back while Jacob Greaves is out of contention for unexplained reasons.

Axel Tuanzebe, Leif Davis and Alex Palmer will all reprise their roles for Ipswich, who are still missing Wes Burns (knee), Sammie Szmodics (ankle), Arijanet Muric (shoulder) and Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles).

Ipswich Town possible starting lineup:
Palmer; Tuanzebe, O'Shea, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste; Johnson, Enciso, Clarke; Delap
