Ipswich Town roundup: 10th after four games with Everton trip next

Where Ipswich stand

According to the Premier League table, Ipswich Town sit 10th after four matches, with two wins and two defeats giving them six points. Seven goals scored and 10 conceded leave Town on a goal difference of -3, with a form line reading WLLW. Ipswich are also yet to draw a match this season — every one of their games so far has produced a winner.

That tally leaves Ipswich level on points with Brentford, Liverpool and Everton, who occupy seventh, eighth and ninth respectively, all three sitting above Town on goal difference, according to the table.

Results so far

The most recent outing brought a 3-2 win at Crystal Palace — a second victory of the campaign which ended a run of back-to-back defeats. Those losses had come against Liverpool, 2-0 winners at Portman Road, and Manchester United, who beat Town 5-2 on their own ground. Ipswich's other win arrived earlier in the season, the two victories bookending the two defeats.

Who is scoring the goals

According to FanTribe's scoring data, Emersonn leads the club's chart with two goals, while five team-mates have one apiece:

• C. Akpom
• J. Clarke
• L. Davis
• Leif Davis
• Zian Flemming

Between them, those entries account for all seven of the goals Ipswich have managed this season.

Next up: Everton away

Ipswich travel to Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday 19 September, kicking off at 14:00 against an Everton side sitting ninth. Bookmaker odds sourced from api_football, as of 14 September, make Everton the favourites at 1.75, with the draw at 3.75 and an Ipswich win at 4.4. Those prices translate to bookmaker-derived probabilities of 54% for an Everton victory, 25% for the draw and 21% for Town.

It is a demanding assignment on paper: Everton are unbeaten this season, with one win and three draws from their four matches, per the table. On FanTribe, the points on offer reflect the size of the task — 35 for an Everton win, 75 for the draw and 88 for a correct call on an Ipswich victory.

Then: Fulham at Portman Road

The next fixture on the calendar brings Fulham to Portman Road on Saturday 10 October. The market makes Fulham narrow favourites at 2.5, a bookmaker-derived probability of 38%, with Ipswich at 2.67 (35%) and the draw at 3.5 (27%). FanTribe's points on offer for that afternoon: 53 for an Ipswich win, 70 for the draw and 50 for a Fulham victory.

Fan sentiment

FanTribe's fan data currently shows a registered supporter count of zero for Ipswich on the platform, so there is no measurable fan sentiment to report just yet. Any Tractor Boys keen to see their club represented on FanTribe know where to sign up.

For now, the early-season picture is a mixed one: a mid-table position, goals shared around the squad rather than carried by one man, and 10 conceded in four matches — a defensive record that will need to tighten if the points are to keep coming.
