  1. Leicester look to avoid sting in the tail at Hornetspublished at 14:40 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February

    Watford v Leicester (15:00 GMT)

    Leicester start the day 11 points clear at the top and with a comfy-looking 12-point cushion in the automatic promotion spots, but boss Enzo Maresca is sticking to the tried and trusted managerial gospel of focusing on their next game only.

    And that’s a trip to 11th-placed Watford who have play-off ambitions of their own, sitting four points outside the top six in a sardine-like packed mid-table.

    Valerian Ismael’s side badly need to kick-start their season after a mid-winter slump, which has brought them just one win in seven league matches and an FA Cup exit to Southampton in midweek.

    In contrast, Leicester have won their last three, scoring 11 goals in the process.

    If the Hornets want to take anything out of the game they’ll have to stop the revitalised Patson Daka who has six goals in his last nine league matches, including a brace in their 5-0 demolition of Stoke last weekend.

    The Foxes also have the best away record in the top four tiers of English football, with 11 wins and 35 points from 15 outings. So, no pressure.

    FT: Ipswich 2-2 West Brom

    This is how the top of the Championship looks after that hectic finish at Portman Road.

    Ipswich are still in contention for the top two but their winless run extends to four games in all competitions.

    West Brom are wedged into the top six whatever happens today but will see that result as a missed opportunity.

    Wonderful stuff; great equaliser, great goal.

    Excellent, the fans must be delighted. That last onslaught from Ipswich was absolutely outstanding. When that final whistle went, I don't know how many West Brom fans were on their knees - they were shattered.

    Ipswich have come out of that difficult spell, this will work wonders. There's a confidence about them.

    They will finish in the top four, it's just a question of what position they take up.

  5. FULL-TIMEpublished at 14:31 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February

    Ipswich 2-2 West Brom

    All over.

    Ipswich have done it the hard way but they've rescued a point against West Brom.

    That was a cracking game if you're a neutral. Tom Fellows and John Swift gave the Baggies the lead in style but Nathan Broadhead and Omari Hutchinson spared Ipswich's blushes as they pushed to the very end for a winner.

    Not only did the late equaliser sour things for West Brom but Kyle Bartley was withdrawn for the second half with injury while poor old Daryl Dike was stretchered off with what looked like an unspecified but serious injury of his own.

  6. GREAT SAVE!published at 90+7 mins

    Ipswich 2-2 West Brom

    What a save from Alex Palmer!

    The West Brom stopper JUST about makes the save to deny Ali Al-Hamadi from close range.

    Is there time for an Ipswich winner?

    Drama!

    It's chaos in the West Brom box and the visitors are fighting to keep a point here.

    Kieffer Moore collects the ball and tries to get a shot away but he's swarmed by Baggies players and they eventually get the ball away.

    Ipswich aren't done yet!

    Omari Hutchinson

    There's the equaliser!

    Ipswich leave it late but from a corner, Omari Hutchinson eventually gets hold of the ball and takes his time before striking home with his left foot and surely ensuring the hosts win a point in the process.

    Five more minutes to go. Ipswich brought on Cameron Humphreys just before that goal went in, replacing Leif Davis.

    Okay Yokuslu and Alex Palmer have just saved West Brom here.

    The pair combine to thwart Kieffer Moore's efforts as he tries to spin and fire home from close range.

  10. INJURY TIMEpublished at 90 mins

    Eight minutes added on here, which isn't a surprise after the time we lost to Daryl Dike's injury.

    Meanwhile, Cameron Humphreys is braced to come on for Ipswich in a late change.

    West Brom keeper Alex Palmer is called into action as an Ipswich ball into the box takes a wicked deflection and almost sneaks inside the near post.

    But he swiftly makes the save.

  12. Postpublished at 87 mins

    Ipswich 1-2 West Brom

    Omari Hutchinson whips a low rolling strike from a tight angle inside the West Brom box.

    But Baggies keeper Alex Palmer is wise to it and collects the ball with ease.

    John Swift looks set to play through Pipa as the West Brom substitutes combine, but Leif Davis spares Ipswich's blushes.

    Time is ticking down if Ipswich are to avoid another defeat, here.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 84 mins

    Ipswich 1-2 West Brom

    A double change as expected for Ipswich.

    Jeremy Sarmiento replaces Massimo Luongo and Nathan Broadhead comes off, with recent signing Ali Al-Hamadi taking his place.

    Meanwhile Pipa replaces Andreas Weimann as West Brom make a change of their own.

  15. Postpublished at 80 mins

    Ipswich 1-2 West Brom

    Sam Morsy looks to strike from outside the box to get Ipswich back level again.

    But his effort is blocked away by West Brom.

    It looks like Ispwich are going to make a couple of changes again.

    What an awful decision from George Edmundson. It truly was not on, it was a difficult pass to thread through. It needed accuracy, it needed to be perfect. West Brom have got lucky from that point on - but a poor decision.

    They've put enormous pressure on themselves by conceding. You feel they've got to have extreme character now to come back.

    What a strike!

    This has come out of nowhere. Ipswich try to play out from the back and fail to keep hold of the ball, leading West Brom to capitalise.

    John Swift, who only came on as a substitute for the stricken Daryl Dike just 10 minutes ago, lets fly with a powerful dipping low shot which evades Ipswich keeper Vaclav Hladky and goes into the bottom corner.

    Ipswich had been in control up until the stoppage for Dike's injury. Now they're chasing the game again.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 75 mins

    Ipswich 1-1 West Brom

    Ipswich make a double change - in fact their first substitution of this game so far.

    Wes Burns and Conor Chaplin come off. Omari Hutchinson and Marcus Harness come on.

    Twenty minutes or so left in this game, but who knows how much time will be added on after Daryl Dike's injury?

    Understandably, the game still hasn't returned to its previous level just yet.

  20. Postpublished at 69 mins

    Harry Clarke sends a low throw-in towards the West Brom box as we finally get back under way.

    And it's immediately put away for a goal-kick to the visitors.
