Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Chelsea

Chelsea are built to dominate the ball. They should have most of the possession at Stamford Bridge and keep Ipswich pinned in their own half for long spells.

Away · promoted

Ipswich Town

Ipswich are back in the top flight and still adjusting to its pace. Expect a deep, compact shape on their trip to Stamford Bridge, long spells without the ball and most of their threat from set pieces.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

  • If Chelsea name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.

  • If Ipswich score first

    The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.

Preview

Chelsea vs Ipswich match preview

Chelsea host Ipswich Town in front of their own fans, and the Goexch numbers lean towards Chelsea. The expected-goals gap (2.35 for Chelsea, 0.74 for Ipswich) is the clearest signal, and it is where our 73% for Chelsea comes from. Ipswich's best chance is to keep it level into the last 30 minutes, when the draw becomes a real possibility.
