TEAMS PREVIEW

Everton FC Preview

Everton showed early promise under David Moyes with four wins in his first six games, but momentum has stalled—just one win in the last nine. With back-to-back losses weighing them down, the Toffees will be eager to finish strong at Goodison Park before saying farewell to their historic home and stepping into a new era next season. 

They will have two final chances to give Goodison Park a fitting send-off, with upcoming clashes against Ipswich and Southampton offering the perfect stage to end on a high.  A win on Saturday could lift Everton to 13th in the table, leapfrogging Wolves to a better goal difference while injecting fresh life into their late-season push.

Key Stats

1. Everton's scoreless outing against Chelsea marked their 15th blank in the league this season—only Leicester, with 16, have failed to find the net more often.
2. At Goodison Park, the Toffees have managed to draw (8) the most number of games this season and they have drawn four of their last five home games.
3. Everton have now gone winless in six matches at home.
4. Iliman Ndiaye is Everton FC's top scorer with 7 goals.

Team News 

Everton are set for a boost up front with Armando Broja available again after sitting out against his parent club, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin returning to full training following a long spell out. However, they’ll be without defensive stalwart James Tarkowski for the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury picked up against Man City. Meanwhile, Dwight McNeil, still easing his way back from knee surgery, may have to settle for another cameo from the bench.

Everton Probable XI -  Pickford (GK); Young, O'Brien, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Gueye, Garner, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Beto

Ipswich Town FC Preview

Kieran McKenna's side confirmed their relegation with a 3-0 defeat at St James' Park last weekend. To make matters worse, full-back Ben Johnson saw red in that match, marking Ipswich's second consecutive red card after Leif Davis was sent off in the previous game. 

With relegation already sealed, Ipswich can now play without pressure, free to showcase their best. Despite the setback, they've shown promise throughout the season and could surprise with a fearless, nothing-to-lose approach. 

Key Stats

1. McKenna’s side have shockingly squandered 27 points from winning positions this season, a statistic that’s been a painful thorn in their campaign.
2. The Tractor Boys have won just once in their last nine away games.
3. Liam Delap has scored 12 times for Ipswich Town.
4. In their last five games, Ipswich Town are averaging one goal per game. 

Team News 

Ipswich will be missing Leif Davis and Ben Johnson through suspension, while injuries leave them without Nathan Broadhead, Conor Townsend, and Axel Tuanzebe – a tough blow for McKenna's squad if you consider the long term injury concerns within the squad. 

Ipswich Town Probable XI - Palmer (GK); O'Shea, Woolfenden, Burgess, Greaves, Godfrey; Hutchinson, Morsy, Cajuste, Clarke; Delap

EVERTON FC vs IPSWICH TOWN FC
Winning Prediction

In their last meeting, Everton cruised to a 2-0 win over Ipswich, and with their strong home form this season, another victory seems likely. Ipswich’s best bet here might be to scrape a draw, given the Toffees’ love for draws. That said, Everton have made a habit of dispatching teams around them in the table—highlighted by a thumping 4-0 win over Leicester at Goodison. It’s no surprise they head into this one as firm favourites.
