The key battle
Kemar Roofe v Matthew Pennington
Roofe returned to the first team fold at Blackburn Rovers and having netted four goals in August, will be looking to add to his tally on Wednesday against Ipswich Town. Former Whites defender Pennington could be in for a busy night against him in the Ipswich defence.
