Ipswich will welcome Brentford to Portman Road this Saturday in what is a Premier League clash of contrasting realities. While the home side is already condemned to relegation, the visitors are dreaming of a European adventure.
The Tractor Boys, though spirited in their 2-2 comeback at Everton, are enduring a grim home run, having lost 10 of their last 11.
Kieran McKenna will be hoping for a flicker of pride to light up a flat ending, especially against a side they’ve historically handled decently at home. A crowd desperate for a reason to cheer may look to Julio Enciso’s flair or George Hirst’s aerial presence to finally break the curse on home soil.
Brentford, meanwhile, arrive buzzing after a thrilling 4-3 win over Manchester United, marking their third straight league victory and continuing their unexpected push for Europe. Thomas Frank’s men have become a Premier League anomaly with equal parts chaos and clinical finishing, having now scored four or more goals in eight league games this season.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Ipswich vs. Brentford predicted lineups, team news
Ipswich remain without a host of key players, including Leif Davis, Broadhead, Szmodics, and Burns, forcing Kieran McKenna to patch things together again. Ben Johnson returns to challenge Axel Tuanzebe for the right-back spot, while Jacob Greaves should continue to deputise on the left.
Jens Cajuste is in line to freshen up midfield, and while George Hirst made an impact off the bench at Everton, Liam Delap is expected to lead the line once more.
Ipswich predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Palmer (GK) — Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Burgess, Greaves — Morsy, Cajuste — Hutchinson, Chaplin, Enciso — Delap.
Injured: Broadhead, Szmodics, Burns
Suspended: Davis
Brentford’s injury list holds steady with Janelt, Dasilva, Fabio Carvalho, and Aaron Hickey remain out. But striker Igor Thiago is finally back in the squad.
Still, Frank won’t want to disturb the chemistry of Bryan Mbeumo, Yoanne Wissa, and Kevin Schade, all in fine scoring form. Rico Henry could earn his first start after three sub appearances, and Mathias Jensen may return in midfield for added control.
Brentford predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Flekken (GK) — Kayode, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter — Jensen, Norgaard, Damsgaard — Mbeumo, Wissa, Schade.
Injured: Janelt, Dasilva, Carvalho, Hickey
Suspended: None
