Separated only by goal difference in the bottom half of the Premier League table, Ipswich Town and Crystal Palace will face off in a crucial battle at Portman Road on Tuesday evening.
The "Tractor Boys'" unbeaten run was ended after a 0-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, while the "Eagles" seemed destined for the same fate against Newcastle United, but surprisingly earned a valuable point thanks to a dramatic 1-1 draw.
Latest team news for Ipswich Town vs Crystal Palace
Ipswich suffered a double blow at City Ground on Sunday when defender Axel Tuanzebe left the pitch in the second half with a suspected hamstring injury, which will almost certainly keep the former Manchester United player out of the next game.
Tuanzebe joins the Tractor Boys' injury list alongside Janoi Donacien (ankle), George Hirst (knee), and Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles tendon). Meanwhile, Kalvin Phillips and Ben Johnson remain doubtful due to fitness issues.
Johnson is a direct replacement for Tuanzebe in defense, but Harry Clarke may have to fill that role temporarily. Further up the pitch, necessary changes to the lineup could give Wes Burns and Jack Clarke a chance to start.
Conversely, Crystal Palace did not face any further fitness issues after their draw with Newcastle, although Eberechi Eze only played 65 minutes due to his recent return from a hamstring injury.
Daichi Kamada will miss the final game of his three-match suspension, while Matheus Franca (groin), Chadi Riad (knee), and Adam Wharton (groin) remain sidelined, although the latter two could return next month.
If Eze is unavailable for two consecutive Premier League matches in a short period, Eddie Nketiah or Justin Devenny would be viable alternatives. Additionally, the frequently injured midfielder Cheick Doucoure could be given a rare opportunity to play.
Latest predicted lineups for Ipswich Town vs Crystal Palace

Latest football match prediction: Ipswich Town vs Crystal Palace
The battle for dominance between Nottingham Forest's Chris Wood and Ipswich Town's Liam Delap promised to be dramatic ahead of Saturday's match at City Ground, but both sides likely disappointed fans after a goalless first half.
However, just four minutes into the second half, Jota Silva was fouled by Sammie Szmodics inside the box, and Chris Wood converted a classic penalty kick, sending the ball straight through the net to seal the game. Ipswich, despite not being outplayed, continued to show a lack of sharpness in their own half.
The defeat against Forest was a shock for Ipswich after an impressive three-match unbeaten run against Tottenham, Manchester United, and Leicester City. This result pushed Kieran McKenna's team down to 19th place in the league table.
Ipswich's search for their first home win of the season continues, leaving them the only team in the Premier League yet to win at home. The team has drawn four of their last five matches at Portman Road. If they fail to keep a clean sheet next Tuesday, Ipswich will have gone 10 consecutive Premier League games without a clean sheet, a feat not seen since their goalless draw with Brighton in mid-September.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace wrote two stories of defensive resurgence at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon. Daniel Munoz made his mark with an incredible miss before Marc Guehi inadvertently scored an own goal from Anthony Gordon's cross.
But with only one minute of added time left in the second half, Guehi redeemed himself with a perfect assist for Munoz to head home a dramatic equalizer for Palace past Nick Pope.
The goal not only salvaged a point for the "Eagles" but also helped Oliver Glasner's team climb to 17th place in the standings, thanks to a better goal difference than Ipswich and Wolverhampton.
Palace have lost only one of their last six matches and are gradually regaining their form. They have also shown good scoring ability away from home, with two goals in their last three games in all competitions. Although they haven't kept a clean sheet away from home this season, Palace beat Ipswich 2-1 in the second round of the 2017-18 EFL Cup, thanks to a brace from James McArthur.
