Things have gone in almost opposite directions for these two sides since they last met in League One in January 2022. Wimbledon now find themselves down in the fourth tier, while Ipswich are chasing automatic promotion to the Premier League.

The Dons could soon be heading back up the Football League, though, with Johnnie Jackson's side currently occupying the final play-off spot in League Two. Their recent form has been fairly promising, winning three of their last five games in all competitions, but top flight-chasing Ipswich will present a serious test.

After winning 16 of their first 21 Championship games of the season, Ipswich have hit slightly rocky ground recently. They've failed to win their last five league games, including a 4-0 thrashing away to Leeds just before Christmas, but highly-rated head coach Kieran McKenna will see this game as a great opportunity to get back to winning ways.  

Here's how the two teams line up:

Wimbledon: Bass (GK), Biler, Reeves, Johnson, Pell, Davison, Little, Pearce, Lemonheigh-Evans, Currie, Sasu.

Ipswich: Walton (GK), Tuanzebe, Woolfenden, Edmundson, Humphreys, Morsy, Taylor, Hutchinson, Harness, Broadhead, Ladapo. 

Ipswich won that 2022 meeting 2-0 on their way to promotion. Can Wimbledon take revenge at Plough Lane? Tune in to find out as we explain all the ways to get a Wimbledon vs Ipswich Town live stream where you are.
