Tottenham will look to continue their climb back up the Premier League table when they travel to Ipswich on Saturday, February 22nd, at 3pm (UK time).

How both teams go into Ipswich vs Tottenham
No one expected it to be easy for Ipswich upon their return to the Premier League after more than two decades away. After their first 25 matches, Kieran McKenna’s side find themselves third from bottom, two points adrift of safety with 13 games remaining. Goalscoring has been a significant issue; only Southampton (19 goals) have scored fewer than Ipswich (23). Additionally, Southampton (2 wins) have won fewer matches than Ipswich, who have managed just three victories. Furthermore, Ipswich’s defence is among the weakest, with only Southampton, Leicester, and Wolves conceding more goals than they have. These problems contributed to a four-game losing streak, during which Ipswich conceded 14 goals while scoring just twice. Before this, they had gone five games without a win (one draw and four losses), but they did achieve two wins in their previous four matches, including their only home victory this season: a 2-0 triumph over Chelsea. The Tractor Boys will, at least, take some confidence in holding onto a 1-1 draw away at Aston Villa last time out, despite Axel Tuanzebe being sent off just before half-time.
Ipswich’s other wins came on the road against Wolves and Tottenham, the latter of which is having a challenging second season under Ange Postecoglou’s management. Spurs currently sit in 12th place, though back-to-back wins against Brentford and Man Utd have lifted them 13 points clear of the relegation zone. Before those victories, the Lilywhites endured a four-game losing streak that was part of a broader seven-game winless run (six losses and one draw). Remarkably, only Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal, have scored more goals than Tottenham this season, while Spurs have the league’s 12th-best defensive record. That defensive record has been boosted by keeping clean sheets in each of those wins against Brentford and Man Utd, which is the first time they’ve kept back-to-back league shutouts this season. However, they have struggled to maintain leads; three of their last four defeats came after they had gone in front. In fact, no team has dropped more points from winning positions than Spurs this season, with 21 points lost—one more than last-placed Southampton.

Axel Tuanzebe is suspended.

Dominic Solanke, Timo Werner, Cristian Romero, and Brennan Johnson may return for the upcoming match. James Maddison and Destiny Udogie are expected to be available. However, there is no return date yet for Micky van de Ven or Richarlison, while Son Heung-min is doubtful with a knock.
