Ipswich Town face opposition riding on the crest of a wave tonight when Burnley visit Portman Road.

The Clarets claimed the prized scalp of Leicester on Saturday, thanks to a second-half strike from Ian Moore.

Defeat cost the Foxes their position in the top two and helped Burnley move up to eighth in Division One.

And ominously for Town, Stan Ternent's side have an impressive record on the road this season, having also won at Derby and Sheffield Wednesday.

They triumphed 2-1 at Pride Park and 3-1 at Hillsborough, in addition to claiming a share of the spoils from their 2-2 draw at Bradford.

Having said that, the Lancashire side have suffered two 3-0 away setbacks, against Reading and Wolves.

Town and caretaker boss Tony Mowbray will be hoping they can inflict another defeat on the men from Turf Moor, at the same time extinguishing memories of Saturday's dismal 3-1 setback at Reading.
