Liam Manning made one change from the midweek clash against West Bromwich Albion, as Mirko Topić came in for Emiliano Marcondes.

The first shot of the game arrived nearly 18 minutes in, as Josh Sargent fired over the crossbar from Oscar Schwartau's headed knockdown.

Ipswich thought they had taken the lead through Jaden Philogene, but the referee had already blown for a foul on Harry Darling.

Schwartau forced Alex Palmer into a save at the other end, with the goalkeeper pushing the Dane's effort out for a corner.

The home side would take the lead as Cedric Kipre fired in after Dara O'Shea headed a corner back towards goal.

But their lead would only last four minutes, as Schwartau would level. The Dane's volley took a deflection and beat Palmer to equalise.

However, just before half-time, Ipswich regained the lead. Philogene won the ball back and fired into the top corner.

Topić created an opportunity early on in the second half, but his shot was wide of the goal.

Ipswich added a third as Jack Clarke fired in a rebound after Ivan Azon's effort hit the post.

After the international break, the Canaries are back at Carrow Road as they host Bristol City.
