Ipswich Town marksman Liam Delap is set to start on the bench as his side face West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday.
The former Manchester City man has been the Tractor Boys' leading light in attack this term, scoring 12 goals across the top-flight campaign.
However, with an exit from Portman Road expected this summer, Delap is now playing second fiddle to George Hirst, who is likely to be at the club in the Championship next season.
Elsewhere on the pitch, Ipswich are hoping to have Conor Townsend available following an injury lay-off, with the left-back missing the defeat to Leicester City last weekend.
In the case that the ex-West Bromwich Albion man is unavailable, assist king Leif Davis will start in what could be his final match for the East Anglians.
Captain Sam Morsy will lead his troops from the engine room, with Irishman Jack Taylor likely to complete the midfield pairing for the hosts.
Omari Hutchinson and Jack Clarke will provide plenty of trickery on the flanks, whilst Julio Enciso should start centrally behind striker Hirst.
Ipswich Town possible starting lineup: Palmer; Tuanzebe, O'Shea, Greaves, Davis; Morsy, Taylor; Hutchinson, Enciso, Clarke; Hirst
