Ipswich Town face their second major promotion rival of the Christmas period when Leicester City make the trip to Portman Road on Boxing Day.

The Tractor Boys sit second in the table at the halfway stage of the campaign, and home fans are beginning to dream of back-to-back promotions and a long-awaited return to the Premier League after a 22-year absence.

Kieran McKenna’s side have been rock solid on their own patch, earning nine wins and a draw from 11 games, but this will be the stiffest test of their credentials to date.

That’s because Leicester are the Championship’s best travellers, and boss Enzo Maresca is on track to bounce the club back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Foxes fans will be hoping for a repeat of the last time the two teams met in competitive action, as Jamie Vardy was among the scorers in a 3-0 victory in the 2013/14 season, which ended with the Championship title being lifted.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Ipswich v Leicester on TV and online.
