Ipswich Town have actually won each of their last three meetings with Tottenham, albeit the most-recent of these came over 22 years ago, so can the Tractor Boys upset the odds in the capital?
Tottenham Hotspur vs Ipswich Town Preview
Will Tottenham Hotspur's inconsistent form continue? Last Sunday, Spurs roared back from a goal down to defeat Aston Villa 4-1 at home, with Brennan Johnson commencing the comeback and Dominic Solane scoring twice, before James Maddison's inch-perfect free-kick made the points secure. Ange Postecoglou's side thereby climbed up to seventh, winning four and losing four since the start of September, alternating between defeat and victory for five Premier League games in a row now.
Then, on Thursday evening, the Lilywhites' perfect record in this season's Europa League came to an end during a crazy night in İstanbul. Spurs were ultimately beaten 3-2 by Galatasaray, Will Lankshear scoring his first senior goal before also being sent off, as the Turkish champions mustered 28 shots, ten of which were on target, to Tottenham's five shots. So, while you rarely know what level of performance to expect from Spurs, entertainment is almost always guaranteed.
Ipswich Town meantime are still searching for a first victory upon their Premier League return. Kieran McKenna's team came agonisingly close to that illusive win when Leicester visited Portman Road a week ago; Leif Davis' stunning strike had the Tractor Boys believing but, after Kalvin Phillips was shown a red card, they could not hold on, with the Foxes pinching a point in the dying embers of stoppage time.
So, having drawn five and lost five, the Blues remain in the relegation zone, and it doesn't get any easier, with games against Man United, Rúben Amorim's first in charge, and then high-flying Nottingham Forest up next. Thus, it would be a seismic upset if Ipswich were to end their wait for a win in North London come Sunday.

Tottenham Hotspur Team News
Tottenham are without both first-choice centre-backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero so, as was the case on Thursday, Radu Drăgușin will deputise alongside Ben Davies. Elsewhere, Wilson Odobert is still sidelined, while Richarlison will be out for a "little while" due to a hamstring issue, but Son Heung-min is good to go, having started against both Aston Villa and Galatasaray. Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Pape Matar Sarr, Dejan Kuluševski and Dominic Solanke will all return to the starting lineup compared to that picked in İstanbul.
Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Ipswich Town: (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Drăgușin, Davies, Udogie; Matar Sarr, Bissouma, Kuluševski, Johnson, Son Heung-min; Solanke.

Kalvin Phillips' red card last weekend means he is suspended, so Jens Cajuste will come in alongside Sam Morsy, who himself is one yellow card away from a ban. At the back, Ben Johnson's return has somewhat eased Ipswich's injury crisis, but Axel Tuanzebe and Jacob Greaves do remain sidelined; Harry Clarke will be available again, having served his one-match ban against Leicester.
Ipswich Town predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur: (4-2-3-1): Muric; Johnson, O'Shea, Burgess, Davis; Cajuste, Morsy, Burns, Hutchinson, Szmodics; Delap.
