Crystal Palace host Ipswich Town at Selhurst Park on Saturday, September 12 (10:00 AM ET / 9:00 AM CT / 7:00 AM PT).
Crystal Palace will be without knee-injury absentee Chadi Riad Dnanou, thigh-injury absentee Jean-Philippe Mateta and groin/hip/pelvic-injury absentee Ismaila Sarr, while doubt Edward Nketiah works to prove his fitness in time for kickoff. Tyrick Mitchell, who has scored two goals from five shots already this season, looks Palace’s likeliest source of goals, with Daichi Kamada and Adam Wharton both contributing four chances created apiece from midfield. Ipswich Town arrive without knee-injury absentee Jack Taylor, while doubt Jaden Philogene (ankle/foot) and doubt Azor Matusiwa (thigh) carry fitness question marks of their own. Leif Davis and Emerson have each scored a goal already this season, and Julio Enciso’s twelve shots lead Ipswich’s front line, with Saša Lukić supplying a further assist from midfield.
Both sides own matching records this season – three points from three games, one win from two losses, and a minus-four goal difference apiece – so this meeting looks close on paper. Ipswich have shipped five goals at Manchester United and two more at home to Liverpool in their last two matches, while Crystal Palace’s defense has looked similarly exposed, conceding four goals at home to Manchester City before winning 3-2 away at Fulham. With Mitchell in scoring form for Palace and Ipswich able to call on Davis, Emerson, Clarke and Akpom, both teams look capable of finding the net, and Palace’s extra home comfort should be enough to nose it.

Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Town Prediction
Crystal Palace should just have enough about them to see off Ipswich Town at Selhurst Park, and we’re predicting a 2-1 win to the hosts. Both sides have shown they can score and concede in fairly equal measure this season, with matching minus-four goal differences from their opening three games, but Palace’s extra threat through Mitchell and their support cast should prove the difference in a tight, entertaining contest.
