Liverpool vs Ipswich Town Preview
Liverpool are flying high this season, sitting on 50 points from 21 matches with an incredible +30 goal difference. The Reds are six points clear of Arsenal, with a game in hand, and remain undefeated in their last five Premier League outings with three wins and two draws.
Ipswich Town, on the other hand, finds themselves mired in the relegation zone. Sitting 17th with 16 points from 22 games and a worrying -23 goal difference, they’ve managed just one win in their last five league matches, alongside three defeats and a draw. Their uphill battle for survival is evident, and Saturday’s clash at Anfield couldn’t come at a tougher time.

Liverpool vs Ipswich Town head-to-head
History also leans heavily in Liverpool’s favor. In their last five Premier League meetings, the Reds have emerged victorious three times, with one draw and one loss to Ipswich. Given Ipswich’s current form and Liverpool’s dominant displays in both the league and the Champions League—where they boast seven wins in seven matches—it’s hard to see anything other than a home victory.
As Liverpool looks to tighten its grip on the title race and Ipswich fights for its Premier League survival, this matchup may tell two very different stories for both clubs. Anfield is braced for another dominant display from the Reds, but could Ipswich muster an unlikely upset? Only time will tell.
