Sylvan Ebanks-Blake has been named in Ipswich Town's starting lineup for today's match against Preston North End.

The former Wolverhampton Wanderers player signed for the club last month, and has been named in Mick McCarthy's side for the FA Cup third-round tie.

Goalkeeper Scott Loach starts in goal for Wanderers at the expense of Dean Gerken, while David McGoldrick finds himself on the bench for the home side.

Preston welcome Paul Huntington back from suspension for the visit to Portman Road following suspension, and there is a return to the starting lineup for Kevin Davies who scored Preston's winning goal in the last round.
