Ipswich Town vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Portman Road
Follow live coverage as Ipswich Town face Crystal Palace today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

SAVED!!! Munoz, Sarr and Mateta combine to put Eze in behind the Ipswich defence, but Burns does just enough to put him off and the eventual shot is held by Muric!

Blocked!! Eze slips Mitchell in to his left and he finds his opposite wing-back Munoz with a low cross into the centre. The Colombian shoots off-balance, but his left-footed effort is blocked off the line by Greaves!

The ball breaks kindly for Mateta on the edge of the Ipswich box, but Harry Clarke and O'Shea do just enough to keep him at bay and the latter blocks the Frenchman's shot.

Ipswich have only lost three of their last 45 home league matches, but are winless in their last six at Portman Road– all of which have come in this season's Premier League. They last endured a longer run without a win on home soil between February and April 2019, an eight-game stretch on their way to relegation from the Championship.

OVER!! Doucoure clips the half-cleared Palace corner back into the middle from the right-hand side, as Chalobah climbs high in the middle but can only head over from right in front!

BLOCKED!!! The best move of the game so far from Palace!!! Eze drives forward with the ball and beats Morsy twice to get a shot away, but after it's blocked and sits up nicely for Doucoure, the midfielder's half-volley from the edge of the box is bravely blocked behind by Greaves!

Eze drops deep to help out his backline and is clipped late by Morsy while trying to release the ball, with the Tractor Boys captain lucky to avoid a yellow card there.
