Ipswich Town: Home Form Provides Real Confidence

Gary O'Neil's side opened their league campaign with an encouraging 2-1 home win over Sunderland before suffering a difficult 5-2 defeat away to Manchester United. Ipswich even took the lead at Old Trafford through Leif Davis, but struggled to withstand the hosts' growing pressure after the interval.

Back on home soil, however, Ipswich have looked much more assured. Alongside their victory over Sunderland, they also beat Leicester 3-1 at the same venue in the League Cup, giving them plenty of confidence ahead of Liverpool's visit.

Liverpool: Winless Start Raises Early Concerns

Andoni Iraola's team have drawn both of their opening Premier League fixtures, finishing 2-2 against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. In the most recent match, Liverpool had to fight back from behind twice, with a late Victor Muñoz goal rescuing a point.

The arrival of Bradley Barcola from PSG adds further quality to the squad, although the French winger is expected to begin on the bench. Alexander Isak should lead the attack, with Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Muñoz providing support in the final third.
