Tottenham Hotspur vs Ipswich Town: Premier League – BBC Sport

Tottenham have won just three of their 10 Premier League games against Ipswich (D3 L4). Excluding ubiquitous teams, this is the lowest win rate against any opponent they have faced more than ten times in the competition.

Ipswich have won their last three Premier League games against Spurs and won the double in their last meeting in the 2001/2002 season. They have never won four league games in a row against them.

Tottenham have won 32 of their last 36 Premier League home games against promoted teams (D2 L2) and have not missed a goal in any of their last 42 games since a 1-0 defeat against Wolves in December 2009.

Ipswich have lost their last five away Premier League games against London sides, conceding at least two goals each time (16 in total). However, 33% of their Premier League wins in London have come against Spurs (2/6), including their last such win in December 2001.

Tottenham have conceded the first goal in each of their last four home games in the Premier League, but have won the last three. A team has never conceded a goal first, but they have previously won four home games in a row in the competition.

Tottenham have lost their last two Premier League games at the weekend (Saturday/Sunday) immediately after a European game, 3-2 at Brighton and 1-0 at Crystal Palace. Only twice have they lost three such games in a row, from December 2012 to March 2013 and from September to October 2019.

Ipswich remain winless in their 10 Premier League games this season (D5 L5), their longest run without a win since the start of a top-flight season. They have lost their last two away games 4-1 at West Ham and 4-3 at Brentford, last conceding more than 4 goals in three consecutive away games in the league in March 1964.

None of Tottenham’s last 26 Premier League home games ended in a draw (W18, L8). The last team to have a longer streak of this kind in the top flight was Liverpool (28 between April 1963 and August 1964).

Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke has applied more pressure in the final third than any other player in the Premier League this season (212).

Ipswich’s Leif Davis has created more chances than any other defender in the Premier League so far this season (25). Meanwhile, Spurs’ Pedro Porro has had more shots than any other defender this season (19).
