Liverpool vs Ipswich Match Preview
Liverpool will be confident of maintaining their Premier League title surge when Ipswich make their first trip to Anfield in 23 years on Saturday.
Arne Slot’s side are unbeaten in 17 Premier League games to lead the way, while Ipswich start the weekend in the relegation zone.
A win or a point could be enough to take them ahead of Wolves and out of danger and Slot says their opponents are improving all the time.

He said: “I think it’s fair to say that Ipswich have improved over the first half of the season. It’s also a compliment to Kieran McKenna, who made it really difficult in the first game we played.
“They have become a good team that makes things difficult, the last game being an exception because maybe [Manchester] The city becomes the city again.
City beat Ipswich 6-0 last weekend and they are yet to win in 2025.
