Ipswich Town are in dismal form as they prepare to host Middlesbrough at Portman Road on Tuesday night. 

Paul Hurst's men are the only team in the division still searching for their first illusive win of the campaign, after six draws and four defeats from their opening 10 league games.

After throwing away a 2-0 lead away at Birmingham City last weekend, life doesn't get much easier for Town, as they prepare to host Tony Pulis' men on Tuesday evening.

The North East club have lost just the once this season and have conceded just two goals in the league since the opening game of the season. They currently sit third in the league standings after five wins, four draws and one defeat.

Something needs to change for Ipswich, who need to find a win from somewhere if they are to escape from the relegation zone after a terrible start.

Here at FLW, we take a look at the Ipswich XI that should face Boro on Tuesday night...

Bialkowski needs to come back into the starting line-up.

He was the Championship's best goalkeeper last season and will help Ipswich turn things around.

An enforced change will have to be made after full-back Matthew Pennington was sent off on Saturday, meaning that Janoi Donacien, 24, may make a return to the Town first-team.

Nsiala has found it difficult at Portman Road since his arrival from Shrewsbury Town, but the centre-back will be hoping he can improve.

If Ipswich are to get out of this slog, then they need to rely on captain Chambers, who definitely has the quality and leadership at the back.

Knudsen is another senior player who can help Ipswich get out of the mess that they are currently in.

Chalobah has been a decent performer for Ipswich over the last few weeks and should keep his place in the side.

Cole Skuse has found it tough in recent weeks and perhaps a change is needed in order for him to regain his form.

Andre Dozzell could be a suitable replacement, as he makes his return from injury.

Edwards has been perhaps Ipswich's standout performer this season and will look to add to his tally of two goals for the season on Tuesday.

Nolan has impressed upon his arrival from Shrewsbury in the summer and has looked very industrious and strong in midfield.

Sears has been knocking on the door of the first-team for a number of weeks now and deserves a chance in the team to add some creativity to the Ipswich attack.

With Ellis Harrison and Jon Walters out through injury, Kayden Jackson will be hoping to add to his tally of two goals and start spearheading Town up the table.
