Ipswich v Leicester 7.45pm
ENZO MARESCA aims to put a dent in Ipswich's promotion dream even though he loves to watch them play.
The Leicester boss takes his table toppers to Portman Road today with a six-point lead over the second-placed Tractor Boys and having won 19 of their 23 league matches this campaign.
Maresca heaped praise on Kieran McKenna's side who have been a surprise package after winning promotion from League One last term.
Ipswich crashed to a surprise hammering at Leeds on Saturday but Maresca said: "They're one of the teams I really enjoy to watch. They're fantastic, there's some magic inside that sometimes happens when a team gets promoted.
"We're doing well but they are right there with us and doing a fantastic job.
"They will probably be more upset [after defeat against Leeds], it's a chance for us to move nine points clear or for them to close the gap to three points.
