Everton vs Ipswich Town Preview and Prediction: Last-minute Goal

Latest team news for Everton vs Ipswich Town

Everton will welcome back Armando Broja after he missed the previous match against his parent club. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has also returned to full training after a lengthy injury layoff.

James Tarkowski will be out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury sustained in the match against Man City. Following a poor performance from Michael Keane after coming on as a substitute, Jake O'Brien was moved to centre-back, having performed well at right-back.

Two loan players, Orel Mangala and Jesper Lindstrom, have likely played their last game for Everton. Dwight McNeil – who underwent knee surgery earlier this year – is being gradually brought back into the team and may continue to be on the bench.

Ipswich could be missing up to 11 players for their trip to Merseyside. Ben Johnson is suspended after receiving a red card, and Leif Davis – another full-back – is also under disciplinary action.

Nathan Broadhead – a former Everton youth player – will be absent due to a hamstring injury, as will Conor Townsend and Axel Tuanzebe in defense.

Kalvin Phillips is unlikely to feature, while three offensive players – Jaden Philogene, Wes Burns, and Sammie Szmodics – are all experiencing fitness issues.

Latest football match prediction: Everton vs Ipswich Town

As expected, Everton's poor run of form at Stamford Bridge continued last Saturday, when Nicolas Jackson's first-half goal extended their winless streak against Chelsea in the Premier League away from home to 30 matches.

This means David Moyes' team has won only one of their last nine Premier League matches. Following their recent home defeat to Man City, the returning manager risks losing three consecutive games – something that never happened in the final 18 months of his first stint at the club.

Both of their most recent defeats have been goalless matches. Everton are now second only to Leicester (16 matches) in the number of times they have failed to score in the Premier League this season, with 15 games without scoring – their highest tally in any season in the 21st century.

Although only four teams have conceded fewer than their 41 goals, no team outside the relegation zone has scored fewer goals than Everton (34), clearly showing they need to focus on their attack in the upcoming transfer window.

However, many Everton fans are not overly concerned about these figures at the moment, as they are hopeful for a bright future with new owners, a new stadium nearing completion, and an expected summer transfer window that will bring significant investment to the squad – something that has been absent for many years.

Every position in the Premier League table brings in bonus money, so manager Moyes will want his team to reclaim 13th place this week, after being overtaken by Wolves and Manchester United last weekend – both of whom face tough opponents in this round.

Following their 2-0 victory over Ipswich at Portman Road in October, Everton fans were hoping their team would complete a double win against Ipswich in the Premier League – something they had only managed once before, in the 1994-95 season.

However, Ipswich did win at Goodison Park in both of their Premier League seasons in the early 2000s. Even so, maintaining that perfect record since the beginning of this century is highly unlikely.

Last week, manager Kieran McKenna and his players were officially relegated after a 0-3 defeat to Newcastle at St James' Park. Ben Johnson's red card in the first half left Ipswich with virtually no chance of fighting back.

Despite being 18th in the table, the gap between them and West Ham – who are just above them – is a massive 15 points. The three newly promoted teams this season, including Ipswich, are considered among the weakest teams ever to have played in the Premier League.

However, Ipswich earned the majority of their points away from home – two-thirds of their total points this season – which shows they are somewhat dangerous when playing away from home. This also explains why they were relegated from the top flight so early.

Failing to maintain their lead is a major contributing factor to this situation. McKenna's team has dropped a staggering 27 points despite being ahead – an incredible number. If their defense (which has conceded 74 goals) had been more solid, things could have been different.
