The Fan Zone

Adam Wilkin (Blue Monday): The build up to a derby must be the biggest emotional rollercoaster for a fan. You go from dreaming of an absolute battering to fearing the worst.

This is arguable the strongest position Ipswich have been in coming into this fixture in a long long time. They're at home, they have one of the most expensive squads in the league, they're above Norwich in the table but when the two teams take to the pitch anything can happen.

Form often goes out of the window in what can be a scrappy and feisty affair.

It's been 16 years since Town last one the derby as those noisy neighbours love to remind us and i'd rip your arm off for any kind of win including the scrappiest 1-0 but i'm always hesitant to predict a win in these so i'm going for a 2-2 replicating the last time the sides met at Portman Road

Prediction: 2-2
