Is Ipswich vs Leicester City on TV? Channel, kick-off time and live stream details

The latest Leicester City news as Enzo Maresca’s side are back in Championship action on Boxing Day as they take on second-placed Ipswich at Portman Road.

Leicester City have the chance to widen their advantage at the top of the Championship table further on Boxing Day as they take on second-placed Ipswich Town.

City make the journey to Portman Road just over 72 hours after coming out as 3-0 winners against Rotherham. Goals from Patson Daka (x2) and Cesare Casadei saw City take advantage of Ipswich’s 4-0 loss against Leeds earlier in the day and move six points clear.

Enzo Maresca will be looking to lead his side to a sixth straight victory in the Championship in what is the first meeting of the season with Ipswich, who have been on their coattails for the majority of the campaign. A win would also ensure that the gap to the chasing pack doesn’t close with both Leeds and Southampton eyeing an automatic promotion spot.
