Tottenham vs Ipswich: Preview, predictions and lineups

Tottenham Hotspur will want to ditch the memories of 'Hell' when they face up against Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Sunday.

Thursday's Europa League bout in Istanbul was one Spurs could afford to lose given the start they'd made to the league phase, and Ange Postecoglou's side were beaten 3-2 by Galatasaray having decided to start playing properly once they were reduced to ten players midway through the second-half.

That defeat arrived off the back of what was arguably the best week of Postecoglou's reign so far. The Lilywhites downed Manchester City in the Carabao Cup and roared from behind to beat Aston Villa in the league on Sunday. Currently seventh in the table, a win here would set them up nicely after the international break.

They certainly haven't been overwhelmed upon their return to the top flight, with their pressing and general diligence out of possession causing teams problems. However, they are 18th in the table having only amassed five points through ten games.

Here is 90min's guide to Sunday's Premier League clash.

Tottenham team news

Postecoglou confirmed in the week that Richarlison is once again set for a prolonged period on the sidelines after he picked up a hamstring injury during Spurs' 4-1 win over Aston Villa last weekend.

The Aussie boss will welcome the likes of Dejan Kulusevski, Pape Matar Sarr, Dominic Solanke, and Destiny Udogie back into his starting XI on Sunday, and there's hope Cristian Romero will recover from a foot injury to feature.

Timo Werner and Mikey Moore could both miss out, while Micky van de Ven, Wilson Odobert and Djed Spence will likely make their returns after the international break.

Ipswich team news

Sunday's visitors are without Kalvin Phillips after the midfielder picked up two yellow cards in last weekend's draw with Leicester. Massimo Luongo is set to replace the Englishman in McKenna's XI.

Harry Clarke is back in contention after serving his one-game suspension against the Foxes, but Ipswich are currently without Chiedozie Ogbene, Axel Tuanzebe, Jacob Greaves, Jack Taylor, and Janoi Donacien due to injury.

The impressive Liam Delap should lead the Tractor Boys' line having enjoyed a productive start to the season.

Tottenham vs Ipswich score prediction

It would be very Spursy of Spurs to lose here and ensure their fans are miserable for two weeks before they take on Manchester City away from home, and they may encounter a few issues against a canny Ipswich team that press well.

However, while the hosts might threaten an incredibly frustrating defeat, they've been excellent at home this season, and it's hard to envisage McKenna's side, one that's claimed just two points on their travels, turning up and winning in N17.

Postecoglou's side could be forced to play from behind, but they should have too much for Ipswich here.

Prediction: Tottenham 3-1 Ipswich
