Match facts
◾Ipswich have won six of their last seven home league games against Leeds, losing the other in August 2013 (1-2).
◾Leeds won the reverse of this fixture 1-0 thanks to Chris Wood's goal. They've not done the league double over Ipswich since the 2001-02 Premier League campaign.
◾No side have conceded more set piece goals in the Championship this season than Ipswich (21), while Leeds have conceded the highest proportion from set pieces (54.5%).
◾Leeds United have scored a league-high 10 goals from corners this season in the Championship, including seven of their last 14 goals in the competition.
◾Chris Wood has scored in 17 different Championship matches this season; three more games than any other player in the competition.
Ipswich sitting 13th in the table but pulled off a draw against Brighton last time out so not an easy call but i'll stick with my 1-2 prediction cos I got it right last time Wood and Pedraza to score (really think we'll nick it 0-1 with a Ayling goal tbh)

waltzing, actually 28th will be when its clearer.
It;'s really hard to close the gap at top with only 12/13 games to go, but you're on a great run at the moment and if you can close that gap to 2 points then very interesting, GD worth a point against you at this stage though.
Wish you luck!

Waltzing, I'm at the age where I have to check now and then, but sometimes the forgetfulness sets in and I forget what I'm checking for, but if I remember rightly last time there were two there!.
I ain't looking at what team we were playing, I'm looking at the way its gone over the last few games and people saying things like we have to win our home games, Norwich had a bad day today, if they hadn't then that play off spot would have been a bit more under threat!..
Home games are going to bring us points, but we shouldn't be looking at just the home games, this is the stage off season where every game is a must and it doesn't take long for those behind to make up ground, these last few games are showing this team is shaky and if they don't learn the basics off playing a plan but at the same time breaking the other teams plans they're not going to cross the finish line intact!..
There are teams behind us that are more than capable off closing that gap, so home or away, they have to batten down and get the basics right!..

From highlights - looks like Robert Green saved us again!
Third great game in a row now!?!?!?!?!

Walsall, don't be silly, as more games are played of course we will know more.
But his point was there are a number of important games for all the top 6 sides between when he first said it and the end of the month.
