Liverpool have won their last three Premier League meetings with Ipswich by an aggregate score of 13-0, with the Tractor Boys winning only two of 37 previous outings at Anfield, both 1-0 wins, coming in '95 and 2000.
Liverpool vs Ipswich Town Preview
Will Liverpool, at least, remain six points clear at the top of the Premier League table? Last Saturday a very good day for the Reds, who required not one but two goals from Darwin Núñez in stoppage time at Brentford to snatch the points, despite having 37 shots in West London, the most by any away side in Premier League history since record began. Straight after, Arsenal threw away a 2-0 lead at home to Aston Villa, ultimately held to a 2-2 draw, meaning Arne Slot's side are now six points clear at the top, now unbeaten in 17 Premier League games. Then, on Tuesday night, the Reds maintained their 100% record in the Champions League, beating Lille 2-1 at Anfield, with Mohamed Salah breaking the deadlock, before Harvey Elliott's deflected strike secured the points. Thus, most on Merseyside will be turning up expecting to witness another home win here.
Fair to say, Ipswich did not enjoy the ideal preparations for this trip to the champions elect, steamrollered 6-0 by Manchester City last Sunday in a complete non-contest at Portman Road, suffering the joint-heavist home defeat of their 146-year history. Just after Christmas, Kieran McKenna's team memorably beat Chelsea at Suffolk, but this remain only their third victory of the campaign, meaning the Tractor Boys remain in the bottom three, ahead of a must-win clash with rock-bottom Southampton next Saturday. Here, it would require one of the biggest shocks in Premier League history for the Blues to even leave Anfield with a point.

Liverpool Team News
Arne Slot rotated his team for Tuesday's victory over Lille, with Ibrahima Konaté, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andy Robertson, Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo all likely to return, with last weekend's hero Darwin Núñez amongst those set to return to the bench. Joe Gomez and Diogo Jota are sidelined, while Curtis Jones is a doubt, having been replaced at half time in the Champions League.
Liverpool predicted lineup vs Ipswich Town: (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Luis Díaz, Gakpo.
Liverpool Player to Watch vs Ipswich Town
The first of Mohamed Salah's 22 goals this season so far came at Ipswich on the opening day, and it would frankly be a surprise if he didn't add to that tally here.
Ipswich Town Team News
Chiedozie Ogbene is injured, while neither Conor Chaplin nor Sam Szmodics are expected to be fit either, but there could be a debut for Julio Enciso, having arrived on loan from Brighton on Thursday. Meantime, Jaden Philogene debuted as a substitute against Man City last Sunday, so the winger who cost £20 million from Aston Villa could come into the lineup this week. In goal, Christian Walton will start a fifth successive Premier League match, having usurped Arijanet Murić as number one, while Kieran McKenna is likely to stick with the back five deployed last weekend, even if it didn't at all work. Axel Tuanzebe could return to defence; his late cameo a week ago his first appearance since November due to a hamstring injury.
Ipswich Town predicted lineup vs Liverpool: (5-4-1): Walton; Johnson, Godfrey, O'Shea, Tuanzebe, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste, Hutchinson, Philogene; Delap.
Ipswich Town Player to Watch vs Liverpool
Liam Delap has eight goals to his name this season so, if the Tractor Boys harbour any hopes of a massive upset, he'll likely be a central figure.
Liverpool vs Ipswich Town Prediction
We cannot see beyond a routine Liverpool victory at Anfield, which may not be a bold prediction, but all available evidence suggests the Reds will cruise to victory: Liverpool 3-0 Ipswich Town.
