Premier League 2024-2025: Chelsea-Ipswich, the likely lineups

Starting at 3 p.m. for Chelsea-Ipswich, a match valid for the 32nd day of the Premier League. The Blues need to regain continuity of victories in order to aspire to Champions League qualification (fifth place for Aston Villa is only one point away): in the last three games they have scored only 4 points. Ipswich is desperate: fresh off four knockouts in their last five games, they have a gap to fourth-last place of 12 points.

Maresca relies on Jackson as the only forward, behind him are Madueke, Palmer and Sancho. In the midfield Enzo Fernandez is paired with Caicedo, on the flanks are James and Cucurella.

In the visitors Delap up front, Johnson, Broadhead and Enciso on the trequartista line. Morsy and Cajuste are the midfield dike.
