Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna says his squad are "fit and ready" ahead of tonight's trip to Bristol Rovers and says Town have a "chance to build momentum" over the next several weeks.

Town sit 3rd in League One after Saturday's comeback against Sheffield Wednesday. Their opponents are in 14th.

The Tractor Boys will look to return to winning ways after two successive draws, while three points would put distance between them and Bolton, who are 4th on goal difference.

Speaking to the ITFC website, McKenna said: "We want to have the chance to build momentum and with each game you get that chance.

"We have good availability in the squad and lots of players fit and ready. We need to make sure that whoever is involved is ready.

"I am looking forward to the game tomorrow and I haven't been to Memorial Stadium before. Every game is tough and we need to be ready both physically and mentally.

"We have recovered as well as we can, and we will focus on everything we can do to be set for the game.

"Bristol Rovers have individual threats and there are things we need to be prepared for, but we'll focus on ourselves and delivering a performance."
