Preview & Prediction
Ipswich have already shown they aren’t easy pushovers, having picked up a first home win against Sunderland to start the season strong. But Liverpool’s squad depth and attacking firepower, led by Mohamed Salah and reinforced by Iraola’s front-foot tactical approach, make them clear favourites. Expect Ipswich to sit compact and hit on transitions, but numbers point toward a comfortable Liverpool win — likely 2-0 or 3-1.

Liverpool (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Frimpong, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Salah; Chiesa or Gakpo leading the line.
Ipswich Town (4-2-3-1): Walton in goal, with Tuanzebe and O’Shea marshalling defence. Burns, Hutchinson, and Philogene-Bidace are expected to support Delap up top.
