Ipswich Town vs Liverpool: Full confirmed lineups for Premier League 2026-27 match
The Reds are yet to secure a win so far into the season.
Liverpool, who have yet to win a Premier League game this season, will meet promoted side Ipswich Town at Portman Road tonight.
The Tractor Boys will be aiming to escape another beating this week, while the Reds are anxious to get maximum points. Gary O’Neil’s Ipswich started their 2026-27 season well, but ended August with a crash.
Manchester United trounced the Tractor Boys 5-2 on Sunday, with Bruno Fernandes scoring a hat-trick and Jacob Greaves scoring an own goal. Ipswich, who face another Premier League powerhouse today, will be boosted by playing at Portman Road.
In addition, Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool have had a slow start to the campaign. They will be hoping for a victory this week to kickstart their campaign.
Last Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest saw the Reds come from behind twice to secure a point, with summer arrival Victor Munoz scoring a late equaliser on his first competitive start.
The Reds were underwhelming on the road in their 2-2 draw with Newcastle United on matchday one. But with the addition of Barcola, anything short of victory today would be a significant let-down.
Liverpool announced on Monday the acquisition of £123 million winger Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain. The team will be expecting the 24-year-old to be able to propel them over the three-point line on Friday.
