Sports Mole looks ahead to Ipswich Town's Championship game against Birmingham City.

Mid-table Championship sides Ipswich Town and Birmingham City clash at Portman Road on Saturday with little to play for for either side.

Ipswich have very nearly fought off the relegation demons and just a point from their next two games would guarantee survival in the Championship.

Birmingham have just a tiny chance of reaching the playoffs, although they are finishing the season strongly and are unbeaten in their last four matches.

Jay Tabb's goal against Sheffield Wednesday should see him keep his place in the lineup for Ipswich, while Frank Nouble is likely to continue up front.

For Birmingham, the in-form Wade Elliott and Hayden Mullins should continue behind Nikola Zigic in a five-man midfield.
