Ipswich Vs Liverpool Preview
After Ipswich were beaten by Man United last time out, the Tractor Boys will be keen to show they can mix it with England’s elite. The opening day win over Sunderland at least go them off the mark but the 5-2 demolition at Old Trafford suggests there is still plenty of work to be done.
As far as Liverpool are concerned, they will be hoping the mega-money deal for Bradley Barcola starts to pay off quickly. The Reds have been well below par in their opening two games, earning a last-gasp draw against Newcastle and coming from behind to share the spoils with Nottingham Forest.
Those 2-2 stalemates suggest finding the back of the net isn’t the problem, but keeping the ball out of their own is. Andoni Iraola knows how vital it will be to get off the mark and the Spaniard will really fancy his chances against the newly promoted hosts.

Ipswich Vs Liverpool Team News
Going into the match, Ipswich have a number of injury problems to navigate. Record signing Emersonn is a doubt which means Zian Flemming could be fast-tracked to start after completing a deadline day move from Burnley. Jaden Philogene and Jack Taylor are absent and there is also concerns over Azor Matusiwa and Florentino Luis.
Where Andoni Iraola is concerned, there are no fresh injury doubts after Liverpool’s draw with Forest. The likes of Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni are still ruled out Bradley Barcola is available for selection after he completed his deal from PSG on September 1. However, he is likely to start on the bench.
