The Blues are set to play Wrexham on Saturday, but will they need to roll out the red carpet for the Welsh team's Hollywood owners?

The Reds, which is owned by Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator Rob McElhenney, will play at Portman Road in Championship.

Here are just some places you could spot the Hollywood stars in and around Ipswich:

Now the most obvious place to spot the duo will be at Portman Road, where the two teams will be playing on Saturday, from 3pm.

And it is not unusual for celebrities to be spotted in the stands around Portman Road, with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Rupert Grint and Lewis Capaldi seen there.

Reynolds is often known to attend the games of Wrexham, who have won three straight promotions. He could be seen in the stands cheering on the Reds.

From enjoying an overnight stay to enjoying a nice seafood lunch, Reynolds and McElhenney could possibly be spotted around the Ipswich Waterfront.

The marina is currently undergoing a £2million revamp, which can be seen from the Salthouse Harbour Hotel and the Waterfront Bistro.

The four-star hotel offers views across the marina and welcomed Sir Keir Starmer earlier this year. So could this be an overnight stop for Reynolds and McElhenney?

The Thomas Wolsey pub

Although they may be stepping into enemy territory, Reynolds and McElhenney could be spotted in the Thomas Wolsey pub, which hosted Ed Sheeran earlier in the year.

Ahead of Sheeran's three nights performing at Portman Road, he played an intimate performance inside the pub, which was briefly renamed The Old Phone as part of the promotion of his new single.

As well as Sheeran, the pub welcomed Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna, TV presenter Michael Barrymore and several TikTok stars.
