Ipswich Town vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions
Ipswich Town play their first game in the English top flight for over 22 years. They have a tough opening Premier League fixture as they host Liverpool who finished third in the table last season. The Tractor Boys have home advantage for this match but are already hot favorites to be relegated.
They have won promotion in both of the last two seasons, climbing from League One to the Premier League. Some new signings have been made by the club but their squad is mainly the one that won automatic promotion from the Championship last term.
The Reds of Liverpool begin life after Jurgen Klopp.with Arne Slot now in charge. His new club has been rather quiet in the transfer window so far but they begin the season with a squad that is packed with talent in all areas of the field.
Can Ipswich get their season off to a good start or will it be Liverpool who give Slot a winning Premier League debut? Here's our match prediction.

Ipswich Town - Liverpool: Form Analysis
Ipswich Town make their return to the Premier League and two seasons ago were only in League One. Successive promotions have been achieved under coach Kieran McKenna and despite speculation, he's stayed with them for this season.
They won automatic promotion last season and only lost six league games. That was four fewer than any other side in the Championship table but 12 games were drawn. Home form saw them lose just one league fixture all season.
A tough time is expected for the Tractor Boys
Now they're back in the top flight and a tough time is expected for the Tractor Boys. Last season, all three promoted sides ended up being relegated and Ipswich will do well to avoid that fate. Of their pre-season friendlies, two have been won and one lost.
Nearly £60 million has been spent on Liam Delap, Omari Hutchinson, Jacob Greaves and Arijanet Muric. Friday is expected to see them complete a season long loan deal for Manchester City's Kalvin Phillips with more signings expected.
Liverpool finished third last season and were only nine points behind champions Manchester City. They led the table for a fair amount of time last season but their title bid faded after earning only 18 points from their last ten league games. Now they begin life under Arne Slot.
A new era begins at Anfield
Liverpool haven't made any major signings as a new era begins at Anfield. They went through five friendlies unbeaten and that included victories over Manchester United and Arsenal. With no major changes, Liverpool are expected to again be title challengers.

Ipswich Town & Liverpool Squad Analysis
Ipswich Town will be missing George Hirst, Harry Clarke and Nathan Broadhead for this opening Premier League game against Liverpool. Arijanet Muric is expected to make his debut in goal for them and Liam Delap is als likely to feature.
McKenna uses a 4-2-3-1 system and just how that gets on up against the top sides in the Premier League will be interesting to see.
The possibility of an exodus of players from Anfield after the departure of Jurgen Klopp hasn't happened. The only major transfer out of Anfield has been that of Fabio Carvalho to Brentford. Their key players are all still at the club.
Nunez in form already
In their friendlies, they've been playing Diogo Jota as a central striker. Darwin Nunez is back from his summer break though after the Copa America tournament. He scored twice in their 4-1 win over Sevilla on August 11.

Our Ipswich Town vs Liverpool Prediction
Ipswich Town have a tough start to life back in the Premier League. After hosting Liverpool, they then travel to champions Manchester City. They have done incredibly well to win two successive promotions but staying in the Premier League is going to be difficult.
They lack experience at this top level but finishing 17th would be a big achievement for them. Liverpool have had a good pre-season and are likely to make some signings before the transfer window closes. They finished third last season and won nine away league games.
Our main Ipswich v Liverpool prediction is Liverpool to win and lead at both half and full time.
