Mick McCarthy has partnered strikers Michael Chopra and DJ Campbell in the starting lineup for the first time since he took charge at Ipswich Town for the visit of Peterborough United this afternoon.

Campbell has been leading the line for the Tractor Boys alongside Daryl Murphy, who today drops to the bench in favour of Chopra.

McCarthy also makes a change in defence as Tommy Smith comes in for Luke Chambers to partner Danny Higginbotham at centre-back.

Rockbottom Peterborough start with new loanee George Thorne in midfield, with other new arrival Dwight Gale only making the bench.

Ipswich: Henderson, Orr, Smith, Higginbotham, Cresswell, Edwards, N'Daw, Reo-Coker, Martin, Chopra, Campbell

Posh: Olejnik; Little, Boswick, Knight-Percival, Brisley, McCann, Newell, Thorne, Boyd, Berahino, Tomlin
