\"\"<\/a>A BUSY spell gets started for Sheffield with a trip to reigning champions Ipswich on Thursday (July 16, 7.30pm).<\/p>\n

The Tigers will face 11 league fixtures between now and the end of August in a run which will be pivotal to their season\u2019s potential fortunes.<\/p>\n

The Owlerton outfit dropped out of the play-off positions following last Thursday\u2019s home loss at the hands of King\u2019s Lynn – but have ridden the least amount of meetings out of all the top-flight sides to date.<\/p>\n

The journey to Suffolk gives them another opportunity to add to their tally though, especially with the Tigers leading 52-38 on aggregate following their late rally against the Witches in the Steel City at the beginning of May.<\/p>\n

The Tigers welcome reserve Jye Etheridge back into the line-up after missing the last outing whilst Northampton captain Nicolai Klindt has been booked to guest against the club he would have represented in 2020\/21 but for the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Team manager Simon Stead said: \u201cWe need to dust ourselves down and pick ourselves back up after losing at home last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got a team of seven riders and I think that will benefit us massively compared to using R\/R to cover Jack (Holder) at No.1.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know we\u2019re more than capable of going to Ipswich and getting a result and if we could manage to do that again, then that would get us right back on track.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ipswich have Richard Lawson returning from illness and are also hopeful that captain Danny King will be fit enough to make a comeback from rib injuries. Meanwhile, in-form Belle Vue youngster William Cairns guests at No.6 for the Witches in place of the injured Kevin Juhl Pedersen.<\/p>\n

IPSWICH: Tom Brennan, Danny King (if fit), Richard Lawson, Scott Nicholls, Tobiasz Musielak, William Cairns, Jason Edwards.
SHEFFIELD: Nicolai Klindt, Anders Rowe, Chris Holder, Leon Flint, Josh Pickering, Jye Etheridge, Luke Killeen.<\/p>\n
