Ipswich Town vs Liverpool Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Premier League 2024-25
Ipswich are finally back in the Premier League after 22 years.
Ipswich Town are back in the Premier League after an incredible last season at the EFL Championship where they secured a second-spot finish to automatically secure their place after 22 years.
Kieran McKenna has done an outstanding job since stepping into the role guiding the team to back-to-back promotions from League One to Championship and now Premier League. He had plenty of offers from the top six sides who were interested in his services but he rejected the chance to continue the job at Ipswich to take them back to the top.
Liverpool begin the Arne Slot era with an away trip to Ipswich Town in the opening weekend of the Premier League 2024-25 season. The former Feyenoord boss has implemented a new style of play as they now emphasize more on possession-based football under him. Things are looking promising under the new boss as things stand.
The Reds had a strong pre-season campaign where the team secured four wins over Spanish outfits Real Betis, Sevilla, and fellow Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester United. They capped off a brilliant pre-season preparation with a goalless draw against Las Palmas

Players to Watch
Omari Hutchinson (Ipswich)
Omari Hutchinson had a successful year on loan at Ipswich Town last season playing a big part in their promotion to the Premier League this term. He finished the last season appearing 50 times for the club scoring 11 goals and assisting another 5. Kieran McKenna wanted him at all costs this summer and ultimately got the wish as secured a permanent move from Chelsea. Hutchinson is a classy winger who brings flair to the side and can get past opponents with ease.
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
Mohamed Salah has become the record goal-scorer in the history of the Reds after netting 211 goals in 349 appearances for them since breaking into the side in 2017. He has been finding the back of the net consistently for the Reds over the years. Last season, he scored 25 goals in all competitions while also providing 13 assists to guide the team to a third-place finish in the Premier League 2023-24 season.
