Ipswich Town vs Manchester United: Match Preview
The newly promoted Ipswich Town have been in serious trouble on the top flight. In 11 rounds of the new season, the Tractor Boys found their first victory against Tottenham in the last game. They have also endured three defeats in the previous five league games, concluding one draw. Moreover, the Tractor Boys have also been unable to get confidence on home soil, featuring three draws and two defeats this season. With five defeats and five draws in 11 games, Ipswich are already threatened by the relegation zone, standing in the seventeenth position.
On the other hand, despite their managerial issues before the international break, Manchester United succeeded in regaining positive form. The Red Devils are undefeated in their last four matches across all competitions, winning three. But there is still room for improvement in Premier League, having won only two of the previous five league fixtures, along with two draws and a defeat. Bearing a tough start to the season with only four victories in 11 rounds, United are thrown to the thirteenth position in the standings.
