Town boss Mick McCarthy admits he would have taken two draws from the away games at Aston Villa and Brighton but having won 1-0 at Villa Park on Saturday the Blues visit the Amex on Tuesday evening with a chance of recording back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
Cardiff boss Neil Warnock has confirmed reports that new Blues loanee Emyr Huws took a pay cut to join Town on deadline day. The 23-year-old Wales international will be at Portman Road for the remainder of the season.
Town face Blackburn Rovers at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon looking for their first win of 2017 and hoping to emulate their performance at Ewood Park in October, which manager Mick McCarthy felt deserved more than a 0-0 draw.
