Ipswich Witches go into tonight's local derby clash against Arena Essex looking to win by at least seven points to claim the aggregate bonus point.

The SkyBet Elite League clash at Foxhall Stadium (7.30pm) is the Witches' penultimate home league fixture and the club are still hanging on to their ambitions of finishing in third spot in the league table.

That would give them home advantage in the first leg of the play-offs and is a position currently held by Eastbourne.

The Eagles dropped a point at home on Monday and also lost the services of star man David Norris.

He suffered a broken leg and ankle after an horrific heat ten crash when he went over the fence on the back straight.
