Shrewsbury Town welcome Ipswich Town to Montgomery Waters Meadow this Saturday in the Sky Bet League One.
The Tractor Boys currently occupy the top spot in League One with three wins and a draw so far this campaign.
Tuesday night saw them beat Burton Albion away, with Marcus Harness scoring the winner in the 60th minute. Last weekend, they enjoyed a 3-0 win against Milton Keynes Dons at Portman Road. First-half goals from Wes Burns and Marcus Harness followed by a second-half addition from Conor Chaplin helped them to sustain their impressive start in the league.
In their Tuesday night fixture, Shrewsbury earned a point at home to Derby in a 0-0 draw. A 2-1 away win at Wycombe Wanderers last weekend meant Salop secured their first league win of the season. A Matthew Pennington equaliser was made even better when Luke Leahy converted a penalty towards the end of the game to turn the game around.
This will be the 30th game between Ipswich and Shrewsbury. Last season the home fixture ended in a 1-1 draw and Ipswich won the game at Portman Road 2-1. The Tractor Boys finished that season in 11th place, with Kieran Mckenna taking over the club in December 2021.
