Ipswich Town centre-forward Liam Delap will have to tread carefully in Saturday's Premier League showdown with Nottingham Forest at Portman Road.

The former Manchester City youth product has already committed 60 fouls in the top flight this season - more than any other player - and has collected nine yellow cards for his troubles.

If Delap is booked again this weekend, he must serve a two-match Premier League suspension, and one can envisage the Tractor Boys striker running the risk of a caution as he prepares for a tense battle with Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic.

Nevertheless, Delap will certainly continue to spearhead the charge on Saturday, where Ipswich will be missing Axel Tuanzebe (thigh), Arijanet Muric (shoulder), Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles), Wes Burns (knee), Sammie Szmodics (ankle) and Conor Chaplin (knee) through injury again.

Kieran McKenna still has a couple of options for change in the final third, though, including Omari Hutchinson, who could now demote Jack Clarke back down to the substitutes' bench.

Jaden Philogene and Julio Enciso will be awaiting Hutchinson's return, while Kalvin Phillips and Jens Cajuste should continue as the double pivot in front of an unaltered backline.

As Tuanzebe's thigh problem is unlikely to settle down until after the international break, Dara O'Shea should fill in at right-back, joining Luke Woolfenden, Jacob Greaves and Leif Davis in front of Alex Palmer.

Ipswich Town possible starting lineup:
Palmer; O'Shea, Woolfenden, Greaves, Davis; Cajuste, Phillips; Hutchinson, Enciso, Philogene; Delap
