Everton will look to maintain their unbeaten record in the Premier League as they host an Ipswich Town side that held four to a second-string Arsenal side midweek.
The Toffees are favourites for this fixture, as they are unbeaten in their first four league matches but have been held to three draws against Manchester United (2-2), Tottenham Hotspur (0-0) and AFC Bournemouth (1-1). Everton’s last league victory was against Crystal Palace (2-0) on the opening weekend; however, they can take positives from back-to-back clean sheets.
As for Ipswich Town, the Tractor Boys have made a better start to their league season than some may have anticipated. Opening day saw Gary O'Neil's side beat Sunderland and they head into this game following a late 3-2 win against Crystal Palace. However, in the midst of those two wins, the Tractor Boys were well beaten at Old Trafford against Manchester United (5-2) and Liverpool (0-2)
Sasa Lukic is likely to play next to new signing Exequiel Palacios from Bayer Leverkusen in midfield. Lukic is known as a persistent fouler and a good option for the cards market, having already been booked twice this season. On the other side, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has become a standout for Everton in central areas. Dewsbury-Hall has one goal to his name this season, averaging three shots per game and finding the target 1.3 per 90.
Ipswich Town will likely find the scoresheet having registered a goal in three of their four league games this season, but Everton are a tough nut to crack on home soil, so the spoils go to Everton here.
Everton 2-1 Ipswich Town
