Comments, predictions Chelsea vs Ipswich Town: Sweet revenge

Latest Chelsea vs Ipswich Town team information

Chelsea fans were left worried when Cole Palmer – the team's main striker – was substituted at half-time against Legia. However, manager Maresca confirmed that this was a tactical decision and not due to injury.

Palmer is likely to start this weekend, with Jadon Sancho, Noni Madueke and Christopher Nkunku competing for the remaining places in attack.

Chelsea are still without Marc Guiu (hamstring injury) and Romeo Lavia (fitness problem), with Guiu in danger of not being able to return to play for the rest of the season.

For Ipswich, left-back Conor Townsend suffered an injury in last weekend's defeat to Wolves and was forced off in the final 10 minutes. Manager Kieran McKenna may be forced to rotate the position, with Leif Davis a likely replacement.

Latest Chelsea vs Ipswich Town football review

Chelsea, the favourites to win the Conference League this season, took a solid step forward in their quest for the title with a 3-0 win over Legia Warsaw in Poland on Thursday night, despite pressure from the home crowd.

After a goalless first half, the London team completely dominated the game thanks to a goal from Tyrique George and an impressive double from Noni Madueke. With this result, Enzo Maresca and his team now have a big advantage ahead of the return leg at Stamford Bridge next week.

Returning to the Premier League, Chelsea still have a chance to qualify for the Champions League after several seasons of decline and not participating in Europe's top competition. However, the blue team still needs to make an effort in the last 7 rounds of the season.

Before the weekend's match, Chelsea was ranked 4th on the rankings, equal on points with Newcastle (5th) and only 1 point ahead of defending champion Manchester City (6th).

It's no surprise that Cole Palmer continues to be Chelsea's standout performer, scoring 14 goals in 30 Premier League appearances this season, while also providing seven assists – showing he's not a one-season phenomenon.

Ipswich Town returned to the Premier League for the first time in 20 years last summer, but the club appear to be facing the prospect of an early exit from the top flight after recently losing out to their direct rivals in the relegation battle.

Although Liam Delap opened the scoring for the East Anglia side against Wolverhampton last weekend, goals from Pablo Sarabia and Jorgen Strand Larsen helped the visitors turn the game around, leaving Ipswich languishing at the bottom of the table.

With that defeat, Ipswich are now just one step away from official relegation, as they are 12 points behind the nearest safety spot for Vitor Pereira's side.

Oddly enough, Ipswich’s away form this season has been better than their home form at Portman Road. Of their four Premier League wins, three have come on the road, including a 2-1 win at Bournemouth in early April.

However, Ipswich are clear underdogs when they travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon. The last time the two sides met here, Chelsea thrashed Ipswich 7-0 in the FA Cup third round in January 2011.
