Bournemouth will be hoping to get back on track in the Premier League‘s race for European football after a difficult March when they take on relegation candidates Ipswich Town at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday.
Andoni Iraola‘s Cherries are currently on a four-game winless run in the top flight, but despite being 10th in the table, they remain only four points behind Manchester City, who occupy the Europa League qualification spot.
Meanwhile, Kieran McKenna‘s Tractor Boys are nine points from safety, and with eight defeats from their last nine league matches, it will take a miraculous recovery for the visitors to avoid the drop.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the team news for both Bournemouth and Ipswich ahead of their midweek clash that could have ramifications at both ends of the division.
