Ipswich Town v Liverpool: Premier League – live
Ipswich Town host Liverpool in the Premier League this evening, with Gary O'Neil's newly promoted side hoping to build on encouraging early-season form. Ipswich lost 5-2 at Old Trafford last weekend but competed well before Manchester United pulled clear, while an opening-day home win over Sunderland means they have already matched their entire tally of top-flight home victories from their disastrous 2023-24 season. Liverpool, meanwhile, arrive under new manager Andoni Iraola having endured a shaky start, including a poor display at Newcastle and back-to-back 2-2 draws.
Liverpool showed signs of improvement in the second half against Nottingham Forest, with better contributions from Cody Gakpo and Florian Wirtz, plus the arrival of the expensively signed Bradley Barcola offering encouragement. Despite Ipswich's decent recent form, history favours the visitors heavily: Liverpool have won their last four league meetings between the sides by an aggregate score of 17-1. Kick-off is at 8pm BST.

Ipswich Town, promoted back to the Premier League and managed by Gary O'Neil, are up against Liverpool, the reigning champions now led by new head coach Andoni Iraola. Ipswich struggled badly in their last top-flight campaign but have shown signs of improvement this season, while Liverpool have made an uneven start under their new manager.
The two sides have met four times in the league in recent years, with Liverpool winning every meeting by a wide combined margin, giving this fixture an added historical backdrop. The match forms part of the early-season Premier League schedule, where both clubs are still finding their form under relatively new managerial setups.
