TEAMS PREVIEW

Ipswich Town FC Preview

Having already stunned Tottenham with a 2-1 victory earlier this season, Ipswich Town will fancy their chances of pulling off another upset. With a track record of putting up a strong fight against the league’s heavyweights, including a gutsy draw against Aston Villa—that too with a man down for over an hour—the Tractor Boys will be full of belief. This weekend's fixture offers Ipswich Town a golden opportunity to leapfrog Wolves, who they trail by just two points. A win would lift them into the safety zone, temporarily at least. 

Key Player

Out of Ipswich Town’s 23 Premier League goals this season, a massive 10 have come from the boot of Liam Delap. The Tractor Boys are heavily reliant on his goal-scoring prowess, and he once again proved his worth in their 1-1 draw against Aston Villa, netting the only goal for his side. Furthermore, Liam Delap was on target the last time these two sides met, and he’s been in fine form at Portman Road as well. The Ipswich striker has scored in two of the last three matches on home soil, making him a dangerous threat that Spurs will need to watch closely.

Team News 

Ipswich Town will have to shuffle their lineup for Saturday’s clash, as Axel Tuanzebe's red card at Villa Park means a one-match suspension. Ben Johnson is expected to step in at right-back to cover. However, the Tractor Boys face further injury woes, with Julio Enciso now joining a growing list of absentees, after he injured his knee 17 minutes into the game against Aston Villa. 

Ipswich Town Probable XI -Palmer (GK) ; Johnson, O'Shea, Greaves, Davis; Cajuste, Phillips; Philogene, Hutchinson, Clarke; Delap

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

After a wild ride of 25 games this season, marked by unpredictable performances, it seems Tottenham Hotspur have finally found some stability under Ange Postecoglou. From one win in 11 games, they now have two in two, that too without conceding a goal. Amidst a season ravaged by injuries, Tottenham have weathered the storm, with key players now returning to full fitness. 

One such player, James Maddison, proved his worth in the crucial win over Manchester United, scoring the only goal of the match. His timely return and match-winning impact epitomizes the renewed sense of hope and momentum building at Spurs. 

Key Player 

Son Heung-min remains one of Tottenham’s key pillars, leading the charge when needed most. However, this season has been a struggle for the South Korean, with just six goals in 25 games, and only one strike in 2025. Despite his dip in form, Spurs have managed two consecutive wins, but both the coach and fans know that, without Son's usual contributions, the team's long-term success will be in jeopardy. His return to peak form could be crucial for Spurs' hopes of pushing higher up the table. 

Team News 

It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Tottenham last week, as Kevin Danso, Bentancur, and Son  were all forced off in the win over Manchester United. However, manager Ange Postecoglou remains optimistic, confident that the trio’s injuries are just minor knocks and will be available for Saturday’s match. 

Tottenham Hotspurs Probable XI - Vicario (GK) ; Porro, Danso, Davies, Spence; Bergvall, Bentancur, Maddison; Kulusevski, Tel, Son

IPSWICH TOWN FC vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC
