Everton vs Ipswich team news and expert analysis
The Liverpool club made a strong start to last season a year ago. However, partly due to Grealish's serious injury, they eventually dropped out of contention for European competition. With 49 points, they finished 13th. This time, they began with wins in the Premier League against Crystal Palace and in the League Cup against Preston. But they then followed those results with draws. In the previous round, they finished 0-0 against Tottenham. In the League Cup, they at least managed to beat Wolverhampton 1-0.
The Ipswich team had already earned promotion to the Premier League, effectively moving straight up from League One. As expected, they were unable to establish themselves there, but after returning to the Championship, the players remained among the leaders and secured another promotion in the spring. In the summer, they started with wins over Sunderland and Leicester, the latter coming in the League Cup. However, setbacks followed against strong opponents Manchester United and Liverpool. In their latest round, they beat Crystal Palace away from home, winning 3-2. In the League Cup clash with Arsenal, they scored twice but still lost 2-4.
Moyes' side are currently scoring 1.25 goals per game and conceding 0.75. The Premier League newcomers are averaging 1.75 goals scored and 2.5 conceded.
