Preview

Match preview

Crystal Palace host Ipswich at Selhurst Park with both sides sitting side by side in the Premier League table on three points after three matches. Each team holds an identical league record of one win, two defeats, four goals scored, and eight conceded.

Crystal Palace head into this fixture boosted by consecutive victories across recent competitions, including a 3-2 away win against Fulham and a 3-0 home victory against Middlesbrough. However, the Eagles must manage several squad absences, with J. Mateta, E. Nketiah, I. Sarr, and C. Riad all sidelined through injury.

Ipswich will look to rebound after suffering consecutive defeats to Manchester United and Liverpool. While the Tractor Boys displayed attacking intent by scoring twice at Old Trafford in a 5-2 defeat, defensive issues remain a primary concern for the visitors, who are also without A. Matusiwa, J. Philogene, and J. Taylor.
