Remarkably, Ipswich have won each of their last four matches against Spurs, their longest-ever streak in this fixture. Tottenham have won only one of their last seven outings at Portman Road.
Ipswich Town vs Tottenham Hotspur Preview
Having won back-to-back Premier League matches for the first time since March, can Spurs claim three successive league victories?
Last Sunday, James Maddison was the only scorer as Tottenham Hotspur claimed a much-needed 1-0 victory over fellow struggling side Manchester United in North London.
Before this, Ange Postecoglou's team also battled to a 2-0 victory at Brentford, ending a seven-match winless streak, in which they had lost six times.
In between those two wins, the Lilywhites were dumped out of both domestic cups, meaning the Europa League is now their only route to success this season. They'll still want to improve their league position, currently 12th, nine points adrift of the final potential European spot.
Ipswich's need for points is significantly greater, considering they kick off in the relegation zone, two points from safety. Last week, the Tractor Boys battled to a credible 1-1 draw at Villa Park.
Despite having Axel Tuanzebe sent off on the cusp of half time, Liam Delap fired them in front in the Midlands, before an exceptional display from goalkeeper Alex Palmer, making his Premier League debut no less, helped them preserve a potentially precious point.
Before this, Kieran McKenna's team had lost four on the spin, with the Blues still having won just three matches all season. The first of these victories did come at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in November.

Ipswich Town Team News
Axel Tuanzebe's red card last weekend means he is suspended, while captain Sam Morsy, Leif Davis, Julio Enciso, Chiedozie Ogbene and Wes Burns are sidelined.
Ben Godfrey is the likeliest deputy at right-back, while Sam Szmodics, who scored during the victory at Spurs, could return following an ankle injury.
Elsewhere, with Christian Walton sidelined and Arijanet Muriç continuing to underwhelm, Alex Palmer was signed on deadline day before shining on his Premier League debut at Villa Park, so Kieran McKenna will be hoping for another eye-catching display here.
Ipswich Town predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur: (4-5-1): Palmer; Godfrey, O'Shea, Greaves, Townsend; Cajuste, Phillips, Philogene, Hutchinson, Clarke; Delap.

Liam Delap took his tally to ten Premier League goals this season, on target at Tottenham in November, so can he add to his tally?

After a rare free week, Ange Postecoglou was delighted to welcome first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and James Maddison back to the lineup against Manchester United after injuries. Fit-again Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert both came off the bench.
Radu Drăgușin, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Timo Werner, Richarlison and Dominic Solanke do remain sidelined, the latter duo meaning January arrival Mathys Tel will continue to lead the attack.
Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Ipswich Town: (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Danso, Davies, Spence; Bentancur, Bergvall, Maddison; Kuluševski, Son Heung-min, Tel.
Tottenham Hotspur Player to Watch vs Ipswich Town
Dejan Kuluševski has nine goal to his name this season, likely to be Spurs' primary goal threat here too.
