Ipswich Town will face Newcastle United in a Premier League showdown at Portman Road Stadium on December 21, 2024.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town will be desperate to secure their first-ever Premier League home win when they host Newcastle United at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon. Last weekend, Kieran McKenna's side earned a crucial 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Jack Taylor scoring the last-minute winner. This victory lifted Ipswich to 12 points, just two behind 17th-placed Leicester City. However, despite a solid performance on the road, Ipswich has yet to win at home this season, and they remain the only Premier League team without a home victory. A positive result against Newcastle would be a significant step in their battle to avoid relegation. While they have struggled at Portman Road, the Tractor Boys have managed respectable draws against Manchester United and Aston Villa, and they will be hoping to improve on that record in front of their fans.

Newcastle United

Newcastle United will head to East Anglia with renewed confidence after a couple of positive results in the past week. Following a 4-0 thrashing of Leicester City, Eddie Howe's men progressed to the semi-finals of the EFL Cup with a 3-1 victory over Brentford, thanks to a brace from Sandro Tonali. After a challenging period, including a four-game winless run, the Magpies are back on track and now sit 12th in the Premier League, just five points behind fourth-placed Nottingham Forest. Although their away form has been inconsistent, with recent draws at Crystal Palace and Brentford, Newcastle has shown they are capable of winning on the road, highlighted by their 3-1 victory at Forest in November. With aspirations of climbing the table, Newcastle will be eager to capitalize on Ipswich's home struggles and secure another vital three points.
