🗞️ Team News: Ipswich Town

It seems likely that The Tractor Boys will probably use a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match featuring Arijanet Muric, Axel Tuanzebe, Dara O'Shea, Jacob Greaves, Leif Davis, Sam Morsy, Kalvin Phillips, Chiedozie Ogbene, Omari Hutchinson, Jack Clarke and Liam Delap.

📋 Team News: Aston Villa

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has some current player fitness concerns. Tyrone Mings (Cruciate ligament tear), Boubacar Kamara (Knee injury) and Jaden Philogene (Knock) will miss out on this game.

From our viewpoint, The Villans seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Emiliano Martinez, Ezri Konsa, Diego Carlos, Pau Torres, Lucas Digne, Amadou Onana, Youri Tielemans, Leon Bailey, Morgan Rogers, Jacob Ramsey and Ollie Watkins.

🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that Ipswich Town will need to put in a solid display to score against this Aston Villa lineup who we think will likely be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

We’re therefore anticipating a very even match with a 0-1 advantage for Aston Villa when all is said and done.

We’ll see what happens.
