Premier League 2024-2025: Aston Villa-Ipswich Town, the likely lineups
Aston Villa-Ipswich Town, the probable formations
On Saturday at 4 p.m. at Villa Park, in the 25th day of the Premier League, Unai Emery's Aston Villa, fighting for a Champions League spot, hosts Kieran McKenna's newly promoted Ipswich Town, determined to avoid an immediate return to the Championship after only one season in the top flight.
After regaining continuity, the Villans slowed down with two draws against Arsenal and West Ham, followed by defeat against Wolverhampton. This stop has complicated the Champions race, although Emery s men remain close to fourth place. For the challenge against Ipswich Town, the coach will have to do without several elements: Pau Torres, Mings and Cash. Also in doubt are Barkley and Watkins.
Ipswich Town is going through a difficult time in the Premier League, with four consecutive defeats respectively occurring against: Brighton, Manchester City, Liverpool and Southampton. This slump has relegated the Tractor Boys to second-last place with 16 points, just three away from the salvation zone. For the away match against Aston Villa, McKenna will have to do without the injured Chaplin, Szmodics, Ogbene, Burns and Walton.
Probable lineups
Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Garcia, Bogarde, Kamara, Digne; Tielemans, McGinn; Asensio, Rogers, Ramsey; Rashford. Coach: Emery.
Ipswich Town (4-2-3-1): Palmer; Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Greaves, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste; Hutchinson, Enciso, Clarke; Delap. Coach: McKenna.
