Ipswich Town<\/a> host Liverpool<\/a> at Portman Road Stadium on Friday, September 4 (3:00 PM ET \/ 2:00 PM CT \/ 12:00 PM PT).<\/p>\n

Ipswich Town will be without the injured Jaden Philogene (ankle\/foot) and Jack Taylor (knee), while thigh-issue doubt Azor Matusiwa and calf\/shin\/heel doubt Florentino Luis are further fitness concerns in midfield. Encouragingly for the hosts, Emersonn Correia da Silva and Jack Raymond Clarke both scored in the opening-day win over Sunderland and should again lead the line. Liverpool travel with a lengthy absentee list of their own: the injured Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike, Joe Gomez, Jayden Danns and Giovanni Leoni are all out, with lower-back doubt Federico Chiesa another concern. Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai, who both scored in the draw at Newcastle, remain the visitors’ most reliable outlets going forward.<\/p>\n

Both sides have shown they can be got at defensively early on, Ipswich shipping a goal to Sunderland and Liverpool conceding twice at Newcastle, and that suggests this one won’t be short of incident at either end. Ipswich carry 3 points and a +1 goal difference from their opening game, while Liverpool sit on 1 point after being pegged back late by Newcastle, and the hosts’ early home form gives them a platform to build from in front of their own fans.<\/p>\n
