What is at stake for Ipswich Town and Liverpool?

Ipswich suffered a demoralising defeat at the weekend, conceding a flurry of goals on the road, including a hat-trick from Bruno Fernandes and an own-goal from Jacob Greaves.

However, the Tractor Boys did take the lead that day, and bouncing back with a strong performance could give the club a confidence boost for their survival fight.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have been less than impressive so far in 2026-27, and will be desperate to claim their first Premier League victory of the Iraola era.

The Reds may have missed out on signing a right winger, midfielder and right-back this summer, but the addition of Barcola will almost certainly make an impact, and the Frenchman could be handed his debut at Portman Road.
