Latest Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa team information
Aston Villa boss Emery delivered some good injury news at his pre-match press conference on Friday, confirming that Tyrone Mings and Boubacar Kamara are close to returning after lengthy spells on the sidelines.
However, John McGinn will not be involved due to a hamstring injury sustained in the win over Wolves, with Diego Carlos and Jaden Philogene (unspecified injury) also absent. Lucas Digne (minor injury) and Matty Cash (thigh injury) remain uncertain.
Duran is pushing for a starting spot, but may still have to sit on the bench for Ollie Watkins, who has been involved in 53 Premier League goals since Emery took charge in November 2022, behind only Erling Haaland (66) and Mohamed Salah (59) in that time.
For Ipswich, Kalvin Phillips missed the draw with Southampton due to a minor thigh injury, but McKenna is optimistic the Manchester City loanee will be fit for Sunday. He has also welcomed back Harry Clarke (Achilles) and Nathan Broadhead (Hamstring) to training, strengthening Ipswich's squad.
However, McKenna believes Phillips may not be fit enough to start, so he could use Morsy, a hero at St Mary's, alongside Jens Cajuste to form a midfield partnership behind Omari Hutchinson, who has made 196 Premier League pressures in the 2024-25 season, second only to Bournemouth's Marcus Tavernier (197).

Latest football commentary Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa
Unai Emery, who won trophies at Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain, watched Aston Villa's reserves struggle against Wycombe in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
However, two second-half goals secured Villa a win at Adams Park. Jhon Duran, renowned for his impressive performances off the bench in the Premier League, opened the scoring after Emiliano Buendia's header. Richard Kone scored late on for Wycombe, but it was not enough to turn things around.
Aston Villa face Crystal Palace in the fourth round at the end of October, but ahead are big challenges, including a trip to Ipswich and two tough home games against Bayern Munich in the Champions League and Manchester United in the Premier League.
Villa have been in fine form recently, coming from behind to beat Everton and Wolverhampton to stay third in the table, just a point behind Manchester City. A win at Ipswich would see Villa win their opening three away Premier League games of the 2020-21 season, having beaten West Ham and Leicester in their first two.
Ipswich, under Kieran McKenna, have had a strange start, losing their first three games but drawing their last three. They have held on for points against Fulham and Brighton, and Sam Morsy salvaged a point for Ipswich with a 95th-minute goal against Southampton, leaving them 17th and without a win this season.
Ipswich have not gone six top-flight games without a win since 1982-83. While their form has improved recently, their head-to-head record is not in their favour, having lost three of their last four games against Champions League opponents.
Ipswich last met Villa in the 2018-19 Championship, when they drew 0-0 at home. Surprisingly, Ipswich have never beaten Villa at Portman Road since an EFL Cup replay in 1992. While Villa may be short on defence in preparation for the Bayern Munich game, they will need to show their attacking prowess if they are to keep up with Liverpool and Manchester City.
