Latest team news for Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa manager Emery delivered good news regarding injuries at Friday's pre-match press conference, confirming that Tyrone Mings and Boubacar Kamara are close to returning after lengthy periods of treatment.
However, John McGinn will be unavailable due to a hamstring injury sustained in the win against Wolves, along with Diego Carlos and Jaden Philogene (unspecified injury). As for Lucas Digne (minor injury) and Matty Cash (thigh injury), their status remains unclear.
Duran is striving to earn a starting spot, but may still be relegated to the bench behind Ollie Watkins, who has been involved in 53 Premier League goals since Emery took over in November 2022, behind only Erling Haaland (66) and Mohamed Salah (59) in terms of goals scored during this period.
For Ipswich, Kalvin Phillips missed the draw against Southampton due to concerns over a minor thigh injury, but manager McKenna is optimistic the Manchester City loan player could be available for Sunday. He also welcomed back Harry Clarke (heel injury) and Nathan Broadhead (hamstring injury) to training, strengthening Ipswich's squad.
However, McKenna suggested that Phillips might not be fit enough to start, so he might use Morsy, the hero at St Mary's, alongside Jens Cajuste as a midfield pairing behind Omari Hutchinson, who made 196 presses in the 2024-25 Premier League season, second only to Bournemouth's Marcus Tavernier (197).
Latest predicted lineups for Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa

Aston Villa:
Martinez; Bogarde, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen; Onana, Tielemans; Bailey, Rogers, Ramsey; Watkins
Latest football match prediction: Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa
Unai Emery, who won numerous titles at Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain, saw Aston Villa's reserve team struggle against Wycombe in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
However, two goals in the second half secured the victory for Villa at Adams Park. Jhon Duran, known for his impressive performances coming off the bench in the Premier League, opened the scoring after a header from Emiliano Buendia. Richard Kone scored late for Wycombe, but it wasn't enough to turn the game around.
Aston Villa will face Crystal Palace in the fourth round at the end of October, but ahead lie major challenges, including an away trip to Ipswich and two tough home games against Bayern Munich in the Champions League and Manchester United in the Premier League.
Villa players have been in good form recently, coming from behind to beat Everton and Wolverhampton, maintaining their third place in the table, just one point behind Manchester City. A win against Ipswich would give Villa their first three Premier League away wins since the 2020-21 season, having already beaten West Ham and Leicester in their first two matches.
Ipswich, under Kieran McKenna, had a strange start to the season, losing their first three games but drawing their last three. They managed to secure points against Fulham and Brighton, and Sam Morsy salvaged a point for Ipswich with a 95th-minute goal against Southampton, leaving the team 17th and still winless this season.
Ipswich haven't gone six games without a win in the top flight since the 1982-83 season. While their form has improved recently, the head-to-head statistics don't favor them, having lost three of their last four matches against Champions League contenders.
The last time Ipswich met Villa was in the 2018-19 Championship, when they drew 0-0 at home. Surprisingly, Ipswich have never beaten Villa at Portman Road since their 1992 EFL Cup rematch. While Villa may be short on defensive players due to preparations for their match against Bayern Munich, they still need to show attacking strength to continue chasing Liverpool and Manchester City.
