The match between Liverpool and Ipswich Town on January 25, 2025, promises to be an engaging encounter as both teams approach the game with contrasting fortunes. Liverpool, buoyed by their recent success in securing a spot in the Champions League knockout stages, is anticipated to maintain their momentum against a struggling Ipswich side. The home advantage at Anfield further enhances Liverpool’s prospects of victory. In contrast, Ipswich Town comes into this match after suffering a heavy defeat against Manchester City, which has undoubtedly affected their morale.

Arne Slot's side also have a game in hand on their title rivals.
Liverpool followed their trip to the capital by welcoming Lille to Anfield in the Champions League. Despite a second-half scare against the French outfit, Harvey Elliott's deflected strike maintained the Reds' perfect record in the league phase of the competition as they secured automatic progression to the last 16.
