Ipswich Town are aiming to gain an advantage in the race for Premier League promotion as they head to Coventry in a key EFL Championship clash on April 30.
With Leicester City already sealing one of the automatic promotion places, the race is on for either Ipswich or Leeds United to join them, and avoid dropping down into the playoffs.
