Liverpool v Ipswich

Liverpool vs Ipswich Town Preview

Liverpool returned to winning ways last weekend in the Premier League when The Reds recorded a 2-0 win away from home at Brentford and although Arne Slot's side left it late, the merseyside club possess a six-point cushion over Arsenal and Nottingham Forest ahead of this weekend's top flight action.

Ipswich Town slipped to a second defeat on the trot in the English top flight last weekend when the Tractor Boys were dealt a heavy 6-0 thrashing at home by Manchester City which followed a previous 2-0 loss at home to Brighton, leaving the Suffolk based visitors sitting third from bottom in the table and still in the relegation zone.

Liverpool now have a golden opportunity to grab another three points at Anfield on Saturday afternoon against a struggling Ipswich Town outfit and increase further pressure upon both of the nearest chasing clubs, Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, in the race for this season's Premier League title.

The Reds bring an impressive 17-game unbeaten sequence into this upcoming clash which is unsurprisingly also the best unbeaten run of all the clubs in the Premier League, and having also scored in these previous 17 games as well, this does not make for good reading if one is an Ipswich Town fan!

In addition, Liverpool are unbeaten in their last eight games at Anfield in the Premier League.

Ipswich Town slumped to a 12th defeat in their 22 league matches last weekend when they found themselves on the end of a particularly harsh 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City as Pep Guardiola's side wreaked havoc at Portman Road.

Nevertheless, the Tractor Boys still remain in touch with fourth from bottom club Wolves as they sit level on 16 points apiece with the west midlands club but Ipswich face another tough assignment when they make their way to Anfield on Saturday afternoon.

Kieran McKenna's side have managed to capture just three wins so far in what has been a very tough return to the English top flight for the visitors, with victories gained over Tottenham, Wolves and Chelsea, the former two wins both being away from home.

However, Ipswich Town are in third place in terms of failing to score so far in this season's top flight campaign, behind only to the likes of Everton and Southampton, and this is another statistic that is likely to produce another tough afternoon at the office for the Tractor Boys.

Interestingly, Ipswich Town have previously failed to score against second placed Arsenal and third placed Nottingham Forest.
