Ipswich vs Liverpool Tips

Ipswich return to Premier League action for the first time since 2002, with the newly-promoted side set to welcome Liverpool in their opening match.

Liverpool Form

Liverpool know that they will have to be far better this season if they are to challenge Manchester City in the title race this time round.

Ipswich lost by an aggregate score of 11-0 in their last Premier League double-header against Liverpool back in 2002
Liverpool have won five of their last six matches
Luis Diaz scored twice in his last outing for the Reds against Sevilla

Head To Head

The Reds have won five of their 10 meetings with Ipswich. In this time, the latter have two wins with the other three ending as draws.

Ipswich Form

Ipswich were excellent in the Championship last season, securing 28 wins in 46 matches as they finished second in the league, thus securing automatic promotion to the Premier League.

Despite excelling last season, Ipswich know that this is where the hard work really starts. Sheffield United finished second in the Championship in the 2022/23 season with 28 wins before they were humiliated in relegation last term, winning three times and conceding 104 goals.

While Ipswich will hope to put up more of a fight than United, they will struggle against a Liverpool side that know they simply have to beat the weaker sides if they are to battle for the trophy this term.

Liverpool Form

Liverpool really fell off in the latter-stages of the 2023/24 campaign as they let outgoing manager Jurgen Klopp down, with the German unable to secure glory in the Europa League and Premier League in his final season with the side.

Now, Arne Slot arrives looking to put his stamp on the team, although the fans will have to wait to see the Reds play their first game at Anfield under their new manager. Despite this, most involved with Liverpool will feel that only a win will do in this one.

While Slot will be given a lot of time even if Liverpool do struggle, Slot and his players will not want to hit the ground running this week, and I predict that Luis Diaz will play a big part in winning their opening match.
