Ipswich Town travel to the MKM Stadium on Saturday afternoon looking to climb as high as sixth in the Premier League table.
Gary O’Neil’s side are 12th on 10 points, level with Saturday’s hosts, and go into the match on the back of a 2-1 win over Fulham, their third top-flight victory of the season. Ipswich have won once in each month of the campaign, with their most recent success coming at Selhurst Park, where Crystal Palace were reduced to 10 men at 1-1 before a 3-2 defeat. A positive result would also move Ipswich four points clear of 18th-placed Nottingham Forest, easing the pressure building at the foot of the table.
Ipswich Town team news
Jack Taylor is the only definite absentee for Ipswich, with Sasa Lukic a doubt due to a groin issue heading into the weekend. The visitors otherwise have a relatively healthy squad to choose from. Saturday’s fixture is the first-ever Premier League meeting between the two clubs, despite 43 previous encounters in the lower divisions.
Zian Flemming, Emersonn and Leif Davis have all scored twice this season, with Flemming’s record on the road particularly eye-catching; the forward scored both of his goals away from home and netted eight of his 11 strikes on his travels for Burnley last season. Ipswich have lost three of their four away league matches this term, however, a record O’Neil will be eager to improve against a Hull side unbeaten in four home matches. Hull have not beaten Ipswich in any competition since November 2020, a run O’Neil’s side will be keen to extend.
