Arijanet Muric (Shoulder injury), Nathan Broadhead (Hamstring injury), Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles tendon rupture), Jaden Philogene (Knee injury) and Wes Burns (Knee surgery) will be missing for Ipswich Town gaffer Kieran McKenna.

📰 Team News: West Ham United

West Ham United boss Graham Potter has multiple availability issues to deal with. Michail Antonio (Broken leg) and Crysencio Summerville (Thigh problems) can’t be considered.

From our viewpoint, The Hammers seem likely to begin the game with a 3-4-1-2 formation, choosing Alphonse Areola, Jean-Clair Todibo, Max Kilman, Aaron Cresswell, Vladimir Coufal, Jamie Ward-Prowse, Guido Rodriguez, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Tomáš Souček, Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus.

⚡ Prediction

In this game, Ipswich Town will likely create enough chances to find the net against this West Ham United outfit, although just one goal possibly won’t quite be enough.

We therefore reckon that it will be a close game with a 1-2 advantage for West Ham United after 90 minutes. It really should be an interesting one.
