Jon Stead and Brett Pitman make their debuts for City in the npower Championship match at Ipswich Town.

The new strike pair link up in attack at Portman Road, with Jon facing his former club immediately after making his permanent switch to Ashton Gate.

In midfield Cole Skuse's absence means Kalifa Cisse is thrust straight into the team after an hour playing for the reserves in midweek.

Ipswich give new signing Jason Scotland a first league start.
