Jamie Clapham has tipped Ipswich Town to claim at least a point from their trip to Arsenal on Saturday - if they can reproduce their form of last weekend.

The Blues crashed to a 2-1 defeat against Leeds United at Portman Road but midfielder Clapham was heartened by his side's display.

He said: "If we play like we did at the weekend then we can certainly go to Highbury confident of getting something from the match.

"Everyone at the club desperately wants to progress and, if at all possible, qualify for Europe."

Meanwhile, Ipswich chairman David Sheepshanks has revealed that Town are waiting on an offer for a Premiership player. The Blues have tabled a seven-figure bid for an unnamed player.

Manchester United teenager Mark Wilson is one possibility, as are Bradford City's David Hopkin and Newcastle United's Stephen Glass.

Bryan Hughes, of Birmingham City, is also being linked with a move to Portman Road.

Ipswich are set to entertain Sheffield United in the FA Youth Cup at Portman Road tonight (kick-off 7pm), with the winners meeting Manchester United or Nottingham Forest in the quarter-finals.
