Ipswich - Liverpool: Match Preview
Ipswich finished second in the Championship last season and managed to return to the English Premier League after just one season away. The Tractor Boys have made a fairly decent start to the new campaign. First, Ipswich defeated Sunderland 2-1 in the opening round of the Premier League, and then beat Leicester 3-1 in the second round of the League Cup. However, in their previous match, the team suffered a heavy 2-5 defeat to Manchester United. This season, the club will clearly be fighting for survival and will try to establish themselves in the Premier League.
Liverpool changed their head coach after last season. The club appointed Andoni Iraola, who had been in charge of Bournemouth for several years, replacing Arne Slot. Last season, the Reds finished fifth and still managed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. The new European campaign starts next week, with Liverpool set to face Atlético Madrid. As for the new Premier League season, Liverpool's start has not been particularly convincing. They first rescued a 2-2 draw against Newcastle, and then drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest in the second round. Therefore, they have two draws from their opening two league matches and need to start winning.

Prediction
