Latest football commentary on West Ham vs Ipswich Town
The pressure is mounting on West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui, who has won just two of his eight games in charge and none of his last five. In September, West Ham lost to Chelsea (3-0) and Liverpool (5-1) in the Carabao Cup, before drawing 1-1 with Brentford thanks to a Tomas Souček equaliser.
Although Lopetegui has been pleased with the players' response, fans are demanding more, especially when the club has spent more than £120 million on nine new players. West Ham have just five points from six Premier League games, sitting 14th and just two points above the relegation zone.
West Ham’s opponents, Ipswich, are playing in the Premier League for the first time in 22 years and have avoided defeat in their last four games, all of which have been draws. Manager Kieran McKenna believes the team have created plenty of chances but are yet to win this season.
Ipswich are 15th, a point behind West Ham, and have not won their opening six top-flight games since 1982-83. They will be looking for their first away win since April. Given their recent form, Ipswich have reason to be optimistic and could well be in for a shock win against West Ham at the London Stadium.
