Everton vs. Ipswich Town - prediction, line streaming , lineups

The match between Everton and Ipswich Town presents an intriguing contest, particularly given the contrasting circumstances of both teams. Everton, currently positioned 15th in the Premier League standings, is favored to secure a victory over relegated Ipswich Town . Despite recent poor form, including losses to Chelsea and Manchester City, Everton's squad depth and home advantage at Goodison Park may prove decisive. However, injuries to key players such as Dominic Calvert-Lewin and James Tarkowski complicate their situation further .

After their relegation back to the Championship was confirmed last week, Ipswich Town are on the road again on Saturday as they take on Everton.

Kieran McKenna's Tractor Boys offered plenty of promise at the start of their first Premier League campaign in over 20 years, but failed to make a fist of survival during the second half of the season.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (hamstring) and Armando Broja (ankle) have resumed full training, with the duo closing in on returning to action. However, Saturday’s match might have come too soon for the two strikers. Meanwhile, James Tarkowski (hamstring), Orel Mangala (knee), and Jesper Lindstrom (hernia) remain on the sidelines.

James Pickford will take his spot between the sticks, with Everton lining up in a 4-3-3 formation in front of him vs Ipswich Town on Saturday. The backline should feature Ashley Young, Jake O’Brien, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Vitaliy Mykolenko.

Everton possible starting lineup: Pickford; Young, O'Brien, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Gueye, Garner, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Beto

Ipswich Town possible starting lineup: Palmer; O'Shea, Woolfenden, Burgess, Greaves, Godfrey; Hutchinson, Morsy, Cajuste, Clarke; Delap

In terms of tactical formation, Everton is expected to adopt a 4-5-1 setup with Jordan Pickford in goal and Beto leading the attack . Conversely, Ipswich Town faces considerable challenges with multiple player absences due to injuries and suspensions. Notably missing are Ben Johnson and several others who are critical to their performance . The streaming options for this match vary by location; fans can access the game via NBC.com or other platforms depending on their region.

Everton are clear favourites, having performed well against similar teams and thrashing Leicester 4-0 at home earlier this season. While Ipswich have secured three of their four Premier League wins away, their heavy defeat to Newcastle exposed a significant quality gap, which Everton are likely to exploit.
