Ipswich preview: Entertaining start
Ipswich come into this one on the back of a 5-2 loss to Manchester United in a game in which they took a first half lead via Leif Davis before a brilliant Bruno Fernandes performance inspired a turnaround for The Red Devils at Old Trafford.
That came after Gary O’Neil’s side began life back in the Premier League with a dramatic come from behind defeat of Sunderland, courtesy of a 90th minute winner scored by former Black Cats winger Jack Clarke.
Liverpool preview: Teething issues
Liverpool have changed manager this summer with former AFC Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola replacing Arne Slot with The Reds seeking to re-establish themselves as a real force once again after finishing fifth in the top-flight last season.
They rescued a late point against Newcastle United in their opener at St James’ Park before again needing two equalisers to share a second successive draw against Nottingham Forest at Anfield in their most recent outing.

Ipswich vs Liverpool prediction
Gary O’Neil has had a habit of being able to shutdown and frustrate some of the elite in English football, as he did previously at Bournemouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Liverpool head to Ipswich still searching for a first win but Iraola himself is now unbeaten in 20 Premier League games. A victory seems just around the corner, surely, albeit in a game that may be uncomfortable for the visitors under the lights.
