Comments and predictions for Ipswich Town vs Fulham: Leading the home team by the nose

Latest Ipswich Town vs Fulham team information

Ipswich Town are having injury problems with a number of players such as Wes Burns, Nathan Broadhead, George Hirst, Harry Clarke, and Janoi Donacien all nursing injuries.

Manager Kieran McKenna made a number of changes to his side in the recent EFL Cup tie, with new signings Chiedozie Ogbene, Kalvin Phillips, Dara O'Shea and Jens Cajuste starting, but could see a change for Saturday's game, with Jack Clarke likely to start. Chaplin scored a crucial equaliser but may not be able to keep his place against Szmodics.

Fulham, on the other hand, have a healthy squad with no injury concerns. Manager Marco Silva used Sander Berge and Joachim Andersen in midweek but could return to the starting XI that has played in the Premier League in the last two games. Smith Rowe is looking to score in back-to-back games for the first time since December 2021.

Latest football commentary Ipswich Town vs Fulham

Kieran McKenna's side could face an even bigger test if Arsenal visit Ipswich this weekend. Ipswich have had a difficult start to the 2024-25 season, losing three consecutive games to Liverpool and Manchester City.

After a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool and a comeback by Manchester City with an Erling Haaland hat-trick, Ipswich also struggled in the EFL Cup, being knocked out by Wimbledon on penalties.

Ipswich need to avoid consecutive home defeats in the Premier League for the first time under McKenna and history is not on their side either, having never opened a top-flight season with three consecutive defeats.

Meanwhile, Fulham also struggled, losing to Manchester United in their opening game, but recovered with wins over Leicester City and Birmingham City.

Manager Marco Silva and his players are aiming to end a 16-year winless streak at Portman Road and can continue their good form this season. Fulham have won all six of their last meetings with Ipswich, including a 3-1 victory at Portman Road in the League Cup last season.
