Brentford vs Ipswich Town- Premier League: TV channel, prediction, team news and lineups

Brentford have won each of their last three home games against Ipswich, with this streak set to continue as they pair meet in the top division for the first time ever.

Brentford vs Ipswich Town Preview

Can Brentford continue their near-flawless home form this season? So far, Thomas Frank's team have collected ten points out of a possible 12 in front of their own supporters, beating Crystal Palace, Southampton and, most-recently, Wolves in an eight-goal thriller, with West Ham the only side to leave this pocket of West London with a point to date.

On the flip side, the Bees have lost all four away games, albeit they've admittedly been very tough ones, losing at Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham and then, last weekend, Old Trafford, taking the lead through Ethan Pinnock's towering header, only for Man United to turn it around. Back at home, and with a derby at Craven Cottage to come next weekend, Brentford will be seeking to rebuild some momentum.

Visitors Ipswich Town meantime are still searching for their first win of the season. Kieran McKenna's team did put together a sequence of four successive draws, results that, for now, are keeping them out of the relegation zone. Although, since then, the Tractor Boys have suffered back-to-back, concerning defeats, smashed 4-1 at West Ham, before last weekend's 2-0 reverse when Everton visited Portman Road.

This is Ipswich's 27th top-flight campaign, but is the first time they've failed to win any of their first eight fixtures, targeting this clash and then next weekend's game against Leicester in Suffolk as golden opportunities to put three points on the board. Nevertheless, considering Brentford have lost only ten of their last 47 Premier League home games, it's a big ask to expect the Tractor Boys to upset the odds here.

Brentford Team News

Rico Henry and Aaron Hickey remain sidelined long-term, so Thomas Frank will continue to deploy a back four exclusively featuring centre-backs, not by choice. In the absence of Mathias Jensen, Mikkel Damsgaard is enjoying an extended run in midfield. Lastly, in attack, Yoane Wissa came off the bench at Old Trafford, his first appearance since 14 September, so could lead the line from the start this time, which is a massive boost, considering he scored in three of four Premier League outings prior to suffering an ankle injury.

Brentford predicted lineup vs Ipswich Town: (4-3-3): Flekken; van den Berg, Collins, Pinnock, Ajer; Nørgaard, Janelt, Damsgaard; Mbuemo, Lewis-Potter, Wissa.

Brentford Player to Watch vs Ipswich Town

Bryan Mbeumo has been on target in all four of the Bees' home league games so far this season, despite having not netted at the Brentford Community Stadium since 21 October last year prior to the start of this campaign.

Ipswich Town Team News

Kieran McKenna currently has very limited defensive options; Axel Tuanzebe, Ben Johnson and Jacob Greaves are all out, meaning Dara O'Shea will continue to fill-in at right-back, with last season's centre-back duo Luke Woolfenden alongside Cameron Burgess reunited. Captain Sam Morsy will be suspended for next weekend's clash with Leicester if he is booked.

Ipswich Town predicted lineup vs Brentford: (4-2-3-1): Muric; O'Shea, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Phillips, Burns, Hutchinson, Clarke; Delap.

Ipswich Town Players to Watch vs Brentford

Liam Delap has four Premier League goals to his name so far, on target against both London-based sides he's faced so far, Fulham and West Ham, so will he be on target in the capital?

Brentford vs Ipswich Town Prediction

We're backing Brentford to pick up three points from this one. The Bees are so consistently strong at home that we can't see Ipswich leaving with anything, let alone a first Premier League win of the season, something the Tractor Boys' are still desperately searching for: Brentford 3-1 Ipswich Town.
