Ipswich Town makes a significant change ahead of their match against Liverpool, replacing Marcelino Núñez with Exequiel Palacios, who is set to make his full debut for the Tractor Boys. Zian Flemming, recently acquired from Burnley, will start on the bench.

Conversely, Liverpool also adjusts their lineup, with Ronald Araújo stepping in for Jeremie Frimpong at right-back. The club's new £106m signing, Bradley Barcola, is named as a substitute.

Last weekend, Ipswich suffered a heavy 5-2 defeat at Manchester United, but their performance showcased resilience, especially until the pivotal moment when Harry Maguire scored. Despite the loss, Ipswich can take pride in their earlier opening-day victory over Sunderland, marking their second home win in the top flight this season, already matching their total from the previous campaign.

In contrast, Liverpool struggled in their recent matches, including a disappointing 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest. However, a stronger second-half performance and contributions from players like Cody Gakpo and Florian Wirtz provide hope for improvement under new manager Andoni Iraola.

Historically, Liverpool has dominated this fixture, winning their last four encounters against Ipswich with an aggregate score of 17-1. This record looms large, but Ipswich's recent form might inspire an upset. The match kicks off at 8pm BST, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting clash.
