Ipswich Town make their first trip to Old Trafford for a league fixture in over two decades when they face Manchester United in the Premier League on Wednesday night.

Remarkably, with two-thirds of the season played, given Man United's dismal campaign so far, just three places separate these two sides in the table, but the points margin is in double figures, with the Tractor Boys in deep relegation zone.
