Liverpool enter this weekend brimming with confidence, sitting six points clear at the top of the Premier League table after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brentford last week.
That win extended their unbeaten league run to an impressive 17 matches, a remarkable feat for manager Arne Slot in his debut season. Slot now holds the distinction of the longest unbeaten league run by a Liverpool manager in their first campaign since William Edward Barclay in 1893/94, Liverpool’s inaugural season in the Football League.
Adding to their momentum, the Reds secured a 2-1 midweek victory over Lille in European competition, showcasing their ability to strike first—a relief after conceding the opening goal in their last three home league games. Anfield has been a fortress this season, and with Ipswich visiting, Liverpool will aim to replicate their 2-0 triumph on the opening day. Another victory here would mark their 11th consecutive home league win against newly promoted sides, further underlining their dominance.
For Ipswich, the challenges continue to pile up. A 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City last weekend followed a 2-0 defeat to Brighton, leaving the Tractor Boys firmly in the relegation zone alongside Leicester and Southampton. Scoring has been a persistent issue, and back-to-back losses without finding the net underline the uphill battle manager Kieran McKenna faces.
However, Ipswich have fared better on the road this season, with the majority of their points and goals coming away from Portman Road. Nine of their 16 points and 12 of their 20 goals have been earned on their travels, suggesting that McKenna’s side is better suited to counterattacking football. Yet, trips to Anfield have rarely yielded success; Ipswich have managed just two wins in 30 league visits to Liverpool (with eight draws and 20 defeats), making this one of their toughest assignments yet.
Liverpool will be counting on Cody Gakpo to shine. Rested during their midweek European fixture, the Dutch forward will be eager to return to action. Gakpo has a chance to join an elite group of players, aiming to become only the third Dutchman to score in five consecutive Premier League home matches, a record shared by Ruud van Nistelrooy and Robin van Persie.
On the other side, Ipswich will turn to Liam Delap, a vital figure in their attack. Delap has demonstrated his effectiveness on the road, with four of his last five goals coming away from home. If Ipswich are to pull off a shock result at Anfield, Delap’s ability to take his chances will be crucial.
Interestingly, while Liverpool have been dominant, they’ve struggled to deliver emphatic scorelines at home. Only one of their last 16 home league wins has been by a margin of three or more goals. This could offer Ipswich a glimmer of hope, especially if they can frustrate the Reds early and take advantage of counterattacking opportunities.
Ultimately, this is a classic David vs. Goliath matchup. Liverpool will look to continue their charge at the top of the table, while Ipswich fight tooth and nail to escape the relegation zone. With Anfield behind them and their squad in top form, Liverpool are heavy favorites, but Ipswich’s resilience on the road means this clash could still offer surprises.
