Tottenham Hotspur vs Ipswich Town LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Ipswich Town 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:
Tottenham Hotspur vs Ipswich Town
Tottenham have lost their last two Premier League games in the weekend (Saturday/Sunday) immediately following a European match, going down 3-2 at Brighton and 1-0 at Crystal Palace. Only twice have they lost three consecutive such matches, doing so from December 2012 to March 2013 and from September to October 2019.

CLOSE! Tottenham have their first foray forward of the match. Son whips in a ball that finds Johnson about eight yards out. The Wales international pokes an effort towards the bottom corner but it somehow drifts wide. Huge miss and that should probably be 1-0 Spurs.

CHANCE! Ipswich have flown out of the traps. Dragusin fails to deal with a simple ball and Hutchison nips in down the right-hand side and his delivery finds Szmodics on the angle. The forward fires in a drilled effort but Vicario is there to make a sharp save.

It's been 23 years since Ipswich Town last played Tottenham in north London with the Tractor Boys winning 2-1. Can history repeat itself or will Spurs take all three points?

The teams are in the tunnel and kick-off will commence shortly at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Ipswich have won their last three Premier League games against Spurs, completing the double over them the last time they met in 2001-02. Will it be fourth time lucky for Kieran McKenna’s side?

Meanwhile, Axel Tuanzebe makes a surprising return for the visitors after being close to losing his thumb in a freak accident at home last month. The former Manchester United defender starts in place of Conor Chaplin in one of two Ipswich changes. Sam Morsy makes his 550th appearance of his club career in midfield, alongside Jens Cajuste, who replaces the suspended Kalvin Phillips. Ipswich’s Leif Davis has created more chances than any other defender in the Premier League so far this season (25) and will be hoping to be the difference in today's clash in the capital.

Ange Postecoglou names an unchanged team from the 4-1 win over Aston Villa with Cristian Romero recovering from a toe injury that forced him off that day. However, Richarlison and Micky Van De Ven remain out for the hosts. Striker Dominic Solanke has applied more pressures in the final third than any other player in the Premier League this season (212), while defender Pedro Porro has had more shots than any other defender this term (19).
