TEAM NEWS…

WHAT THE BOSS HAD TO SAY…
Speaking to RamsTV, Lampard said: “In terms of where they are in the table, it means nothing to me in terms of thinking it might be an easy game for us because when the team is fighting, and they have less and less to lose, they will give it everything.
“We have seen so many cup games this season where teams in leagues below have beaten teams in the Premier League so nothing can be taken for granted in football.
“Ipswich are at home and have players that can hurt us so we have to be at our best.
“We have to get the right idea and right way of approaching this game and it’s about making sure that we are completely on our guard.
“We will watch Ipswich, we will give them full respect and we will go there knowing we want the three points.”
