We head to one of English football’s great grounds for another of our 3pm kick-offs at Portman Road this afternoon for Ipswich Town vs Sunderland.
Ipswich were plucky underdogs two seasons ago in their last crack at the Premier League and were unlucky to go immediately back down to the Championship again.
Kieran McKenna brought them back to the top tier at the first time of asking but has since stepped down — can Gary O’Neil use his knowledge at this level to help his team stay up?
Taking on Sunderland, who navigated that transition perfectly last year with a seventh-place finish in 2025-26, is a big challenge.
The giants from the north-east are back where they feel they belong in and have some exciting players as they prepare for the Europa League.
Keep an eye out for Daizen Maeda (Ipswich) and Wilson Isidor (Sunderland) for two attacking threats who also starred at the World Cup.
