Tottenham vs. Ipswich LIVE: Updates, watch live, score, analysis, highlights

Tottenham could well make a gigantic leap into the Premier League’s top four with a home win against winless Ipswich Town on Sunday (9 a.m. ET), despite continued criticism of Ange Postecoglou and his team.

Last weekend’s showdown with Aston Villa was a fantastic litmus test for two teams hoping to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League, which is why Tottenham’s 4-1 win came as a bit of a surprise. The game summed up Spurs’ season so far quite well, from pretty poor in the first half to absolutely brilliant with four goals in the second half. It’s clear that Postecoglou is building and improving and that (most) players are fully convinced, but the inconsistency from game to game (and often from half to half) is a little worrying.

However winless they may be, Ipswich will feel they are far from being among the three worst teams in the PL, even if the table may say otherwise at the moment. Kieran McKenna’s side were just minutes away from victory. 1 last weekend, until a dubious refereeing decision late in the second half denied the Tractory Boys a penalty that could have made it 2-0, and instead Kalvin Phillips was sent off a minute later, leaving Leicester to steal an equalizer in stoppage time scored a point at Portman Road. “I thought Saturday was a real injustice,” Ipswich CEO Mark Ashton said this week. “Anyone who knows me knows that I care passionately about this football club and that I will give my last breath to defend this football club.” I made that very, very clear [PGMOL chief] Howard Webb.”

Tottenham vs Ipswich forecast

Spurs’ two worst results and performances this season (defeats to Brighton and Crystal Palace) each came after the brief turnaround from Thursday to Sunday after hard-fought, dramatic victories in the Europa League. This Thursday in Istanbul they played 30 minutes shorthanded and lost 2-3. The squad is thinning out due to injuries and no one knows what’s coming from halftime to halftime, let alone game to game. Ipswich will be wisely placed to take advantage of all this and if history tells us anything it is that they will cause a lot of problems. Tottenham 3-2 Ipswich.
