Boro most cope without Paul Ince and Mark Schwarzer again, although
on-loan French defender Frank Quedrue has been passed fit to play.
Boro boss Steve McClaren is expected to keep faith with the same side that held Aston Villa to a goalless draw last Saturday at Villa Park.
Alen Boksic will again lead a three-way attack, partnering both Nemeth and Carlos Marinelli. Marinelli will be looking to continue his good home form. The youngster destroyed Derby three weeks ago, scoring two and having a hand in all the others, in the 5-1 romp.
Ipswich's leading scoring Marcus Stewart will be missing. The striker is expected to be out for up to 8 weeks.
