Notably, this match will not be televised in the UK; however, fans can tune into radio commentary via talkSPORT Radio 2 and BBC Radio Suffolk. For viewers in the United States, the game will be available for streaming on Peacock Premium.
Ipswich also progressed into the FA Cup fifth round last week by making light work of Frank Lampard's Coventry, but they've lost four on the bounce in the Premier League. Having enjoyed a decent first half to the campaign, Ipswich's chances of survival now look slim.
The Tractor Boys earned a 2-2 draw with their upcoming opponents at Portman Road back in September, and they could do with a positive result at Villa Park this weekend to stop the rot. Kieran McKenna's side are 19th and three points adrift of safety.

Aston Villa have enjoyed success in this fixture over the years, losing just one of their last 14 top-flight matches against this opponent (W10 D3 L1), with that sole defeat coming way back in March 1994. Ipswich, on the other hand, have lost 10 of their last 12 league games at Villa Park, with the exceptions being 1-0 victories in 1994 and 2017 - the latter of which was in the Championship. 
While Ipswich's lineup details remain undisclosed at this time (Cormack, 2025), understanding player injuries and returns is essential for assessing each team's prospects.

Thus, both teams approach this match with distinct motivations that could lead to an exhilarating contest on the pitch.
