Everton: six matches without defeat

In midweek, the Merseyside club returned to winning ways by beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 in the League Cup. James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite and several other players who were rested could return to the starting lineup for the league clash.
Ipswich: two wins already at the start of the season

After that, the Tractor Boys lost 2-4 to Arsenal in the League Cup. The team look bold enough in attack, but defensive problems remain, particularly against stronger opponents.

Hosts can extend their unbeaten run: Everton vs Ipswich prediction
Ipswich have already shown that they can pick up points in difficult away matches, but the team still leave too much space in front of their own goal. Everton look more organised and are better at controlling the tempo of the game.
Home advantage and a more reliable defence give the Merseyside side a slight edge. Even so, the visitors are capable of creating chances and finding the net.
