West Ham United vs Ipswich Town
Newly-promoted Ipswich are on a four game unbeaten run in the league, drawing all of them. They came from behind last week to cllaim a valuable point against Aston Villa at home with summer signing Liam Delap scoring twice. They currently sit 15th, just one point and one place behind today's opponents and will aim for their first win of the campaign against a stuttering and underperforming West Ham side that will be under pressure at home. Kieran McKenna's side are without a win on the road since defeating Coventry 2-1 in April.
West Ham United vs Ipswich Town
West Ham have made a poor start to the season, with just two wins from their opening eight games in all competitions and they're winless in their last five. The Hammers rescued a point last time out through Tomas Soucek's goal away to Brentford but manager Julen Lopetegui knows a win against newly-promoted Ipswich is vital in their final match before the international break. They currently find themselves in 14th, just two points above the bottom three and six points behind the top six.
