Liverpool vs Ipswich Town preview

Liverpool welcome struggling Ipswich Town to Anfield for Saturday’s Premier League encounter.

And the hosts will feel confident of securing maximum points against their visitors, who arrive off the back of a painful 6-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City.

Arne Slot has remedied Liverpool’s extremely brief slump by recording successive victories over Brentford and Lille, which leaves the Merseyside club with a commanding lead in both the Premier League and Champions League.

The Reds are six points clear of challengers Arsenal and Nottingham Forest having played a game less, with most bookmakers pricing them at odds-on 1/4 to clinch the title.

They’ll need want to avoid a potential banana skin against their travelling opponents on Saturday, but any hiccups seem unlikely given their history in this fixture.

Liverpool have won their last three league games against Ipswich by an aggregate score of 13-0, and have also won their last 10 Premier League home games against promoted sides by an aggregate score of 34-7.

With Slot’s side seemingly back in the groove and boasting the highest goals tally and xG (50.2) it could be a tough assignment for Ipswich Town, especially given that only Southampton (52.6) have a higher xG against than them (45.8).

Manager Kieran McKenna has called for his squad – including new additions Jaden Philogene and Julio Enciso – to show “incredible character” this weekend.

But following a win over Chelsea and draw with Fulham, the Tractor Boys have lost their last two without scoring, conceding eight in the process.

Liverpool vs Ipswich Town preview betting tips and predictions

At the double

Mohamed Salah might appear the obvious selection for a brace on Saturday, but given he’s priced at 17/10 – we’re happy to opt for the in-form Cody Gakpo instead at 13/2.

Gakpo, 25, has registered 12 goals in 31 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool this season – including two doubles against West Ham and Brighton.

Five of the Dutchman’s six Premier League goals for Liverpool have come in home games, with the forward netting in each of his last four such appearances at Anfield. He also ranks top for most shots on target for Liverpool in the last four home games (8) and non-penalty xG (2.59).

Assist

We’re opting for a Dominik Szoboszlai assist this weekend. The Hungarian, 24, has provided five assists in 28 appearances for Liverpool this season – including one against Ipswich Town in the reverse fixture back in August 2024.

Szoboszlai has created the most chances (8) for his colleagues over the last four home games, despite playing over 100 minutes less! He ranks third for xA (expected assists) in that period which is higher than Trent Alexander-Arnold.
