Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa Previews
Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town, freshly promoted to the Premier League, have found it tough to secure their first victory of the season. With three consecutive draws, they’ve managed to avoid defeat recently but are still in search of their first top-flight win.
Their defense has been shaky at times, and they’ve conceded late in key moments. That said, Ipswich’s spirit has been evident, with late goals like Sam Morsy’s strike against Southampton ensuring they don’t fall too far behind.
Kieran McKenna’s side will look to turn Portman Road into a fortress and aim for an upset against a high-flying Villa team. The Tractor Boys’ key players like Conor Chaplin and Sam Morsy will need to deliver if Ipswich are to cause any trouble for Villa.
Aston Villa
Unai Emery’s Aston Villa are riding a wave of momentum, having won five matches in a row across all competitions. The Lions come into this match brimming with confidence after a 2-1 midweek win over Wycombe Wanderers in the EFL Cup, where their rotated squad still managed to get the job done.
With Ollie Watkins in fine form, contributing to 53 Premier League goals since November 2022, Villa’s attacking prowess has been difficult to contain. Aston Villa also have a solid track record on the road this season, having won their first two away games.
Villa will likely rely on their attacking unit to pile on the pressure and continue their winning streak, although they will need to keep an eye on Ipswich’s counter-attacks, which have been a source of danger for opponents.
Ipswich Town vs Aston Villa Team News
Ipswich Town:
Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna will be pleased to have Harry Clarke and Nathan Broadhead back in training after their respective injuries. While Kalvin Phillips remains doubtful for the clash, Ipswich will have their main squad available.
Phillips’ absence in midfield could force McKenna to rely more heavily on Sam Morsy and Jens Cajuste to control the center of the park, while Omari Hutchinson and Delap will be key to driving the attack.
Aston Villa
Villa face a few injury concerns ahead of the trip to Ipswich. John McGinn will miss out with a hamstring injury, while Tyrone Mings and Boubacar Kamara remain sidelined, expected to return after the international break.
There are also concerns over Matty Cash and Lucas Digne, both dealing with knocks. Despite these absentees, Unai Emery still boasts a formidable squad, with Jhon Duran pushing for a start after impressing in the EFL Cup. However, Ollie Watkins is expected to lead the line again, with support from Leon Bailey and Jacob Ramsey.
