Ipswich Town will be looking for their first win in the 2024/25 Premier League season when they play Fulham at Portman Road this Saturday. The Tractor Boys suffered a setback in the EFL Cup, losing on penalties to AFC Wimbledon. They will now need to address their mistakes and make improvements. On the other hand, Marco Silva’s team managed to come out on top against Birmingham City.
Ipswich Town vs Fulham: Preview
Ipswich Town must have had high expectations for their debut in the Premier League after more than twenty years. However, they faced a tough challenge right from the start, going up against Liverpool and Manchester City in the first two matches. Despite the challenging nature of these fixtures, the Tractor Boys have shown outstanding performance. However, Kieran McKenna must be frustrated with his team’s elimination from the EFL Cup against AFC Wimbledon earlier this week.
On the other hand, Fulham advanced to the EFL Cup third round with a convincing 2-0 victory over Birmingham City earlier this week. The West London club secured a 2-1 victory over Leicester City last weekend. After a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Manchester United, the Cottagers are slowly gaining momentum in the new season.
Ipswich Town vs Fulham: Team News & Stats
Ipswich Town is facing several injury setbacks, with Wes Burns, Nathan Broadhead, George Hirst, Harry Clarke, and Janoi Donacien all sidelined. Kieran McKenna rotated his squad for the EFL Cup, opting to give new signings Chiedozie Ogbene, Kalvin Phillips, Dara O’Shea, and Jens Cajuste a chance in the starting lineup. It would be a surprise if they start on Saturday against Fulham.
With five Ipswich players currently out of action, it seems that the Fulham medical staff have had a relatively easy time during the campaign’s early stages. There are no injuries in Marco Silva’s team. The Fulham manager changed the starting lineup in their recent match, giving Sander Berge his first full debut and Joachim Andersen his second start since his return. However, both players will likely be on the bench for their upcoming trip to East Anglia. Marco Silva could name an unchanged Premier League lineup for the third consecutive match.
