David Wright is backing Ipswich Town to be part of the promotion-chasing pack after Christmas.

The Blues - sixth in the Coca-Cola Championship -are bracing themselves for a hectic festive period, starting with tomorrow's home date with Burnley.

After that they face Leicester on Boxing Day, Coventry on December 29 and then entertain leaders West Bromwich Albion on New Year's Day.

And defender Wright told the Gazette: "Coming out of this period the league sorts itself out and you will see the boys who are pushing - we want to be part of that pack.

unbeaten "We have three more games before the end of the year and we have to take as much as we possibly can from them.

"Our home form has been great and we have to carry it on.

"And if we work hard on our away form we will be really up there."
