Ipswich vs. West Ham: live broadcast , Predictions and Lineups

The clash between Ipswich Town and West Ham United represents a significant event in the Premier League calendar, particularly as it marks the final game of the season for both teams. Scheduled to be broadcasted on Peacock in the United States, this match lacks television coverage in the UK but does provide radio commentary options . Ipswich, struggling with injuries to key players such as Arijanet Muric and Kalvin Phillips, is predicted to adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation featuring Palmer in goal and Hirst leading the attack .

Ipswich Town, already relegated after a single Premier League season, host West Ham United in their final match. After a promising start, injuries and poor form led to their swift return to the Championship. West Ham, despite a disappointing season and a recent managerial change, have outperformed the relegated teams. They sit 15th, with their only win in the last ten games coming against Manchester United, and could finish between 14th and 17th.

The atmosphere at Portman Road is expected to be muted, a stark contrast to the optimism that buzzed through the stadium just months ago. Ipswich fans will likely use the game to say farewell to some departing players and voice their discontent at the season’s collapse. Manager Tony Mowbray, likely to face questions about his future after the match, will be keen to give some of the younger players a run out, assessing their potential for the Championship campaign ahead.

West Ham, under the caretaker management of Kevin Nolan, will be looking to end a turbulent season on a positive note. While avoiding defeat is the primary objective, a win would secure a higher league finish and a slightly larger prize money payout. The Hammers’ faithful, though, will be more interested in seeing signs of improvement and a glimpse of the team that could challenge higher up the table next season. With little to play for but pride, and both teams nursing wounds from a difficult year, the match is unlikely to be a classic. A low-scoring affair is predicted, with the potential for a moment of brilliance – or a calamitous error – to decide the outcome. Ipswich Town possible starting lineup: Palmer; Tuanzebe, O'Shea, Greaves, Davis; Morsy, Taylor; Hutchinson, Enciso, Clarke; Hirst

West Ham United possible starting lineup: Areola; Todibo, Kilman, Cresswell; Coufal, Alvarez, Soler, Wan-Bissaka; Kudus, Bowen; Fullkrug

Ipswich's home struggles this season make a clean sheet against West Ham's potent attack unlikely. A more offensive Hammers approach should yield goals in East Anglia, where they can finish a disappointing season with a win.
