Nottingham, for their part, boosted their hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League with their win over City. That gave them a four-point cushion over fifth spot, and this lead is made more impressive by the fact that England are likely to get five UCL spots at the end of the season.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side have lost their last three away games but should have too much firepower for Ipswich.
