Ipswich vs Sunderland
What to make of those sides
So it's one change for Sunderland following their FA Cup match against Newcastle last weekend, with Abdoullah Ba replacing Nazariy Rusyn who drops to the bench.
Jay Matete is named in the squad for the first time this season after returning from a knee injury he sustained during pre-season.
Ipswich have made three changes following their last league game against Stoke on New Year's Day, with Leif Davis, Jack Taylor and new signing Lewis Travis coming into the starting XI.
Midfielder Massimo Luongo drops out of the squad with an injury, while Town captain Sam Morsy is suspended.
2' How Sunderland have started
As expected Sunderland have started with Bellingham up front, with Pritchard just behind him. Ba has started on the right.
It looks like Ipswich have started with a back three.
5' Over from Pritchard
Ipswich have seen more of the ball in the first five minutes, with Burns and Davis providing width for the hosts.
Sunderland did manage to string a few passes together there before Pritchard sent a long-range effort over the bar.
6' Bellingham denied
Sunderland register the first effort on target after Alese did well to win the ball on the left.
The full-back then cut the ball back for Bellingham whose effort from inside the box was saved by Hladky.
8' Ipswich chance
Now Ipswich go close after Burns broke forward down the hosts' right. His low cross was almost turned in by Jackson but was just out of reach.
It's an end-to-end game so far.
14' Huge block from O'Nien
Burns and Davis are staying very wide when Ipswich have the ball.
The hosts managed to work the ball to Burns on the right there, whose low cross found Taylor, who then saw a low shot blocked by O'Nien inside the Sunderland box.
