Everton vs Ipswich Town Preview

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 3 May 2025
• Kick-off Time: 2:00 pm GMT
• Venue: Goodison Park, Liverpool

Matchday 35 of the 2024/25 Premier League season will include Everton welcoming Ipswich Town at the iconic Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon. The hosts are currently in 15th place with 38 points and have recovered well after the early relegation scare. Ipswich, on the other hand, is in 18th spot with 21 points so far. The Premier League is heading into the final stages, and the table has already taken up its final shape. The Everton vs Ipswich Town fixture will be an academic one for Ipswich, with the club's relegation to the second tier of English confirmed.

Everton's recent run has been atrocious. In the last six games, the club has managed just a single victory to go with three defeats and two draws. The appointment of David Moyes in January has completely reversed the club's fortunes and has lifted the Toffees out of the relegation zone. Iliman Ndiaye has scored the most goals for Everton in the league (seven).

Everton has scored 1 goal per game, which is the fourth lowest in the league, but also has a decent defensive record, having conceded just 41 goals in the competition.

Inconsistencies and mixed results have marked the latest matches of Ipswich Town. Ipswich has accumulated one victory, one draw, and four defeats in the last six outings.

During this period, Ipswich Town has scored seven goals and conceded a staggering 16 goals. The team was always going to find it difficult to compete in the first division, but Kieran McKenna will embrace the learnings, which will surely help his side in the future. With relegation now confirmed, Ipswich Town will now look to make the most of the remaining matches. Ipswich has kept just two clean sheets in the Premier League this campaign.

Key Players to Watch in Everton vs Ipswich Town

Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton)

If there is one English player currently who is in line to earn a big money move in the upcoming summer transfer window, it will be Jarrad Branthwaite. The centre-back was the subject of several bids and attempts from Manchester United lately but ultimately stayed at Everton.

At just 22 years old, Branthwaite is a key part of the Everton defence and is considered the next in line to the English defence. He is the perfect embodiment of the modern-day defender, with his key abilities being aerial strength and on-the-ball ability.

Julio Enciso (Ipswich Town)

Julio Enciso is currently playing for Ipswich Town on loan from his parent club, Brighton & Hove Albion. The shift has been a welcoming one for Enciso, with him being able to feature further than he would have for the Seagulls.

Julio Enciso has one goal and three assists so far for Ipswich. He is primarily deployed as a number 10, operating just behind the striker and serving as the link between the midfield and attack. Enciso has 0.8 xG in his last five matches.

Everton vs Ipswich Town Prediction

Ipswich Town has certainly been a welcome addition to the Premier League this season. However, the visitors will find it extremely tough to take down Everton at Goodison Park.

Predicted Score: Everton 2-0 Ipswich Town
