Comments and predictions for Ipswich Town vs West Ham: Falling before the strong

Latest Ipswich Town vs West Ham team information

Ipswich are awaiting good news from Conor Townsend – the defender is recovering from a hamstring injury but missed the match against Leicester.

Sammie Szmodics, who has been out since late February with an ankle injury, could return to the squad.

Kalvin Phillips suffered a foot injury in early May and is almost certain to miss out on further action, ending his time at Ipswich.

For West Ham, Crysencio Summerville and Michail Antonio remain long-term absentees due to hamstring and leg injuries.

Several players will play their final game for West Ham, including striker Danny Ings and veteran goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.

Potter opted for a more conservative system against Forest, but is likely to switch to a more attacking approach at Portman Road. Niclas Fullkrug and Lucas Paqueta are both available to start.

Latest football commentary Ipswich Town vs West Ham

After winning direct promotion from the Championship last season, Ipswich Town are back in the Premier League for the first time in more than two decades. However, the hosts on Sunday afternoon have struggled and are preparing for a return to the First Division after just one season.

Last weekend’s defeat to Leicester – with goals from the legendary Jamie Vardy and young talent Kasey McAteer – extended Ipswich’s winless run to seven games, and it was a clash between two teams who will soon be saying goodbye to the English top flight.

Having picked up just two points from their last seven games, Kieran McKenna's side are 19th in the table, 16 points adrift of safety (Tottenham, 17th) before hosting West Ham this weekend.

Ipswich have won just one of their 18 home games at Portman Road this season, with their last Premier League win coming against Chelsea in December – which is no surprise considering they are preparing for a return to the Championship.

McKenna is hoping to retain a core of players to fight for promotion next season, but several stars are almost certain to leave this summer, including key striker Liam Delap, who is wanted by Manchester United and Newcastle.

Graham Potter took over at West Ham in January and has been met with mixed reviews in his early days in charge. The former Swansea and Chelsea boss has won just four of his 18 competitive games, losing nine.

West Ham’s most recent defeat came against Nottingham Forest – who are in contention for Champions League qualification – in which Forest scored in both halves, with Morgan Gibbs-White and defender Nikola Milenkovic on target.

Jarrod Bowen scored a late consolation for West Ham in that defeat, taking his tally to 13 goals this season in all competitions. The former Europa Conference League hero is hoping to earn England boss Thomas Tuchel's approval as he looks towards the Euros and, eventually, the 2026 World Cup.

With just one win in their last 10 games, West Ham are currently 15th and could drop to 17th if results on the final day of the season are not favourable. Despite only winning five of their 18 Premier League games this season, they are no strangers to surprising away wins, such as the win over Arsenal in February and the defeat of Man United at Old Trafford earlier this month.
