Chelsea have come to Portman Road for the first time in 22 years and are looking to leave with three points for the first time in 39 years.

In order to make that happen, Enzo Maresca makes five changes from Thursday, with Noni Madueke, João Félix, and Christopher Nkunku refreshing the attack and Axel Disasi rotating in for Malo Gusto at right back. Plus, we get a Filip Jörgensen start in goal, and Reece James is back from injury and in the squad as well!
