Ipswich Town
Starting with the hosts, only making their Premier League return this season, it is no secret that Ipswich's sole focus is on maintaining their top-flight status. However, despite gaining plenty of plaudits from across England's elite since opening up the 2026/27 campaign, Gary O'Neil's men are searching for some much-welcomed stability. Eventually settling for a lively 2-2 stalemate away at fellow Premier League newcomers Hull City last time out, the former Bournemouth boss has seen his squad muster just a single win from any of their previous six appearances across all competitions. Watching their EFL Cup adventure come to an on September 15th as they slumped to a 4-2 defeat at home against reigning Premier League champions Arsenal, Ipswich are searching for some essential defensive grit. In fact, Sunday's hosts have failed to muster a maiden clean sheet from any of their first 11 matchups so far this season.
Ipswich Town Team News
Both still recovering from respective injury issues, Ipswich are once again expected to be without the duo of Sasa Lukic and Ireland international Jack Taylor this weekend. Bagging a pair of Premier League strikes since arriving from Burnley, Dutch marksman Zian Flemming will be hoping to make a maiden Premier League start.
Completing a shock permeant switch to Suffolk over the summer and included in Argentina's squad this month, former Bayer Leverkusen star Exequiel Palacios will start in the middle of the park. Notching back-to-back Premier League strikes, former Brighton starlet Julio Enciso could play a leading role in the final third.
Bournemouth
As for the visitors, while Bournemouth might have opened proceedings back in August at the heart of an extended rut, the Cherries have come roaring back in a sensational fashion. Mounting a dramatic Europa League comeback away at Sparta Prague on Thursday evening as they eventually left the Czech Republic with an eye-catching 3-1 victory, Marco Rose's men certainly find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Likewise, last seen in Premier League action signing off October with a 2-0 win at home against Leeds, the one-time Borussia Dortmund boss will be calling on his resurgent squad to make another statement here. Extending on their respective EFL Cup charge last month thanks to a 3-0 victory against Aston Villa, Bournemouth have now won all of their previous seven consecutive appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 19-1.
