Andoni Iraola’s side will be hoping to return to winning ways in the league, having lost three of their past five Premier League fixtures.
The Daily Echo previews the visit of the Tractor Boys on April 2.
**Team News**
Iraola was without key defenders Milos Kerkez and Dean Huijsen in the cup on Sunday, but they will be back in contention for selection on Wednesday after serving their cup-specific suspensions.
The Cherries were bolstered by the return of Adam Smith to the match day squad on Sunday, the right back coming off the bench in the second half.

Enes Unal is a long-term absentee for the Cherries. Julian Araujo is continuing his recovery and has been training with the team, although is yet to be involved in a match day squad.
Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna will be without the injured Arijanet Muric, Axel Tuanzebe, Conor Chaplin, Sammie Szmodics, Chiedozie Ogbene and Wesley Burns for their trip to Dean Court.
**Head-to-Head**
The two sides have a fairly even record across history, with Ipswich winning 14, the Cherries winning 12 and drawing 13.
But, until the two met in December, they had not faced each other since April 2015.

Trailing to a Chaplin goal after 21 minutes at Portman Road, substitutes Enes Unal and Dango Ouattara netted in the 87th and 90+5th minutes to take the points from Suffolk back to Dorset.
**Last Time Out**
The Cherries have hit a difficult patch of form in the Premier League.
They are without a league win since they beat Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium in mid-February, losing to Wolves, Brighton and Brentford in that time, and drawing away at Tottenham Hotspur.
_(Image: Bradley Collyer/PA Wire)_ Their only win in March came against Wolves in the FA Cup, where they won after a penalty shootout, before they were knocked out of the cup at the weekend at the hands of Manchester City.
Ipswich, meanwhile, are fighting for survival in the Premier League but will have to overturn a nine-point gap to Wolves in 17th if they want to stay up.
They have lost each of their past four games in the league, losing to Spurs, Manchester United, Crystal Palace and, most recently, to Nottingham Forest.
The Cherries host the Tractor Boys on Wednesday, April 2 at the Vitality Stadium. Kick off is at 7.45pm.
