Ipswich lineup vs. Fulham: Predicted XI for their first Premier League game of 2025

Ipswich Town will be without six players for Sunday's Premier League clash with Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Conor Chaplin is facing a couple of weeks out with a knee injury and will join Axel Tuanzebe (hamstring), Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles), George Hirst (knee) and Massimo Luongo (illness) in the treatment room.

Kieran McKenna steered his Ipswich side to a surprise 2-0 win over Chelsea last time out, with Christian Walton keeping a clean sheet after being handed his first Premier League start since the opening weekend of the season.

McKenna has since confirmed that Walton will retain his place between the sticks at the expense of Arijanet Muric, while a back four of Dara O'Shea, Luke Woolfenden, Jacob Greaves and Leif Davis could remain intact.

Kalvin Phillips will be hoping to force his way back into the first XI, but captain Sam Morsy and Jens Cajuste may be preferred to start in centre-midfield once again.

Liam Delap and Omari Hutchinson were two standout performers against Chelsea, the latter scoring his first Premier League goal of the season, and both players could be joined in attack by Wes Burns and one of Nathan Broadhead, Sammie Szmodics or Jack Clarke.

Ipswich Town possible starting lineup: Walton; O'Shea, Greaves, Wolfenden, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste; Burns, Hutchinson, Szmodics; Delap
