Liverpool will be hoping to continue their strong form when they host relegation-battling Ipswich Town this Saturday at Anfield. After a midweek Champions League victory, the Reds are keen to secure their first Premier League home win of 2025. With a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League, Liverpool are in fine form and aiming for a 15th consecutive home match with at least two goals scored.
Arne Slot's men remain unbeaten in their last 17 Premier League matches, despite a challenging early loss to Nottingham Forest. Their recent European success, including a vital win over Lille, ensures their place in the Champions League knockout stages. Now, with a renewed focus on domestic success, Slot's men will be determined to overcome Ipswich Town.
Ipswich Town, on the other hand, are reeling from a heavy 6-0 defeat to Manchester City and find themselves in the Premier League relegation zone. Despite a tough season, Ipswich has shown resilience on the road, earning more than half of their points away from home. However, their dismal defensive performance against Man City has raised questions about their chances against Liverpool’s high-flying side.
Team News & Key Players For Liverpool, Curtis Jones will miss out after picking up a slight injury in their win over Lille. Alexis Mac Allister is expected to take his place in midfield, and Cody Gakpo could return to the starting lineup, looking to continue his impressive form. Diogo Jota and Joe Gomez are also unavailable for this fixture.
Ipswich Town has a few injury concerns as well. Kalvin Phillips is set to return to the midfield after missing last weekend’s match due to eligibility issues, while George Hirst and Axel Tuanzebe are also back. However, key players such as Sammie Szmodics and Conor Chaplin remain sidelined, weakening the team's attacking options.
Prediction Liverpool have been a dominant force at home this season and will look to extend their unbeaten run. Ipswich’s defense will be tested by the attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Harvey Elliott, and Darwin Nunez. With the stakes high, Liverpool are expected to secure a comprehensive 4-0 victory over the Tractor Boys.
