Ipswich Town continue the search for their first Premier League victory of the season when they host Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.
The Tractor Boys have only lost two of their opening five Premier League matches – defeats to Liverpool and Manchester City – and have accumulated three points following three successive draws. In front of a packed Portman Road crowd, they will be aiming to take advantage of a Villa side who were in Carabao Cup action midweek.
The Villans beat Wycombe Wanderers to secure their spot in the fourth round of the competition, but the games continue to come thick and fast for Unai Emery’s men. They also host Bayern Munich on Wednesday night in the Champions League.
Their Premier League form has been impressive, though. Despite failing to keep a clean sheet in their opening five matches of the 2024/25 season, Villa have managed four victories, most recently beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 in a West Midlands derby.

On-loan Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips missed the 1-1 draw with Southampton last weekend and is a doubt to feature against Villa on Sunday due to a thigh problem. Harry Clarke and Nathan Broadhead could return to the squad.
Elsewhere, there should be little variation in Kieran McKenna’s lineup. The Northern Irishman has been reluctant to make significant changes to his XI this term and will likely call upon a very similar side to the one that took a late point from St. Mary’s Stadium.
Ipswich predicted lineup vs Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Muric; Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Greaves, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste; Burns, Hutchinson, Szmodics; Delap.
