Sports Mole previews Championship leaders Cardiff City's home clash with Ipswich Town.

Championship leaders Cardiff City could move 10 points clear at the top of the table with a win at home to Ipswich Town this weekend.

The Welsh outfit will be keen to get back to winning ways after their shock defeat to non-league outfit Macclesfield Town in the FA Cup last weekend.

Long-term absentee Nicky Maynard is the only injury concern for manager Malky Mackay now that Tommy Smith has resumed full training.

Ipswich have claimed some impressive scalps under Mick McCarthy but will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat in all competitions.

The Tractor Boys will be without the services of first-choice goalkeeper Stephen Henderson, who is sidelined for up to two weeks with an ankle problem.

Andy Drury is fit again following a bout of illness and new signing Frank Nouble could feature in some capacity.
