Mick McCarthy has named an unchanged Ipswich Town XI for this evening's visit of Charlton Athletic in the Championship.

First-choice left-back Tyrone Mings is fit after a two-game absence, but only makes the bench as Jonathan Parr keeps his place in the back four.

Ipswich are looking to close to within a point of league leaders Bournemouth, and Charlton boss Bob Peeters has changed his formation to counter the Blues.

He starts with three centre-backs - Andre Bikey, Tal Ben Haim and Oguchi Onyewu - and makes two changes from the Boxing Day draw against Cardiff City.

Joe Gomez and the suspended Callum Harriott come out for Onyewu and Igor Vetokele.

Ipswich: Bialkowski; Chambers, Berra, Smith, Parr; Skuse, Bishop, Tabb; Anderson, Murphy, McGoldrick
Subs: Gerken, Mings, Bru, S.Hunt, Ambrose, N.Hunt, Sammon

Charlton: Etheridge; Bikey, Ben Haim, Onyewu; Solly, Buyens, Berg Gudmundsson, Jackson, Cousins; Vetokele, Tucudean
Subs: Pope, Wilson, Gomez, Bulot, Fox, Pigott, Ahearne-Grant
