Kieran McKenna wants Ipswich to be brave at Brighton as they go in search of their first Premier League win of the season.

Newly-promoted Town face another tough task as they head to the south coast on Saturday to take on a Seagulls side unbeaten under new boss Fabian Hurzeler.

"They've had a good start and they're a really good side, no doubt about it," Ipswich boss McKenna told Town TV.

"They've got some really good habits and traits over the last couple of managers. They are comfortable in possession and build really well through the pitch.

"They've got some fantastic talent and individual quality, both starters and on the bench.

"The new manager's come in and he's putting his own style on it and improving them in certain areas and probably making them an even more well-rounded threat.

"So we know they're a really good side and it's a good challenge for us. But it's another one to really look forward to, to go and impose ourselves, be brave and go with the belief that we can get a result."

Town can welcome back Wes Burns after a hamstring injury and George Hirst, who has yet to feature this season due to a knee problem.

Omari Hutchinson is also fit after shaking off the hamstring niggle he picked up against Fulham.
