Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Ipswich Town could line up in their home clash with Everton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Ipswich Town will be able to welcome back former Everton man Nathan Broadhead when they host the Toffees at Portman Road in the Premier League on Saturday.

Broadhead had not played since Wales' 4-0 loss to Slovakia in early June, but after coming off the bench in his country's 1-0 win over Montenegro on Monday, last season's 13-goal man is set to make his comeback for the Tractor Boys.

Jens Cajuste's fitness is still in question, while Janoi Donacien and Ali Al-Hamadi are both set to remain out after missing international duty last week.

A freak accident at his home saw Axel Tuanzebe need urgent surgery in order to save his thumb earlier this month, with manager Kieran McKenna confirming the defender will be out for a while.

With Chiedozie Ogbene being used more as a winger since his arrival from Luton Town, where he was often deployed at wing-back, Ben Johnson is the man likely to deputise at right-back while Tuanzebe recovers.

The Ipswich boss was without many of his players over the last week as they were away on international duty, four of whom were representing Ireland.

Ogbene, Sammie Szmodics, Dara O'Shea and Jack Taylor were all away with the Boys in Green, but even closer to home, key attackers Omari Hutchinson and Liam Delap represented England's Under-21s.

Both started up front in their win over Ukraine Under-21s last week, before dropping to the bench against Azerbaijan, but Hutchison still had a huge impact when introduced as a substitute.

In a 20-minute cameo, Hutchinson scored and set up three goals as England ran riot in a 7-0 win, securing their place in the finals next summer.

Delap has been the man in form for the Tractor Boys though, having scored three goals in his last two games, as well as a stunning strike in their draw with Fulham here in late August, and he will lead the line in this one.

Ipswich Town possible starting lineup:
Muric; Johnson, O'Shea, Greaves, Davis; Morsy, Phillips; Burns, Hutchinson, Clarke; Delap
