Buonanotte slaloms through the Ipswich defence and creates a great chance for him to get the opening goal. Unfortunately for the Italian, Muric is able to get a hand out and deny him a goal. The best chance of the match so far.

It is a good response from the hosts, who have gotten into the game much more since the first five or so minutes, when the Foxes were on top. A couple of chances created, which will certainly give Ipswich some confidence.

Ipswich Town vs Leicester City
Ipswich won the sides' last meeting in the Premier League some 23 years ago with two second half goals being enough to get the job done. However, things have swung in Leicester's favour of late, with the Foxes losing just once in their last nine head-to-heads, all of which came in the Championship. The Tractor Boys' last victory came in this fixture 13 years ago, as a late winner from David McGoldrick made the difference.
