- Venue: Portman Road, Ipswich.
Leicester City, after being humiliated by a struggling Manchester United side will now go for another away game, this time in the English Premier League, for their 10th league outing. They will face off against hosts Ipswich Town, who are having a worse, winless season in the top tier.
Leicester City just lost to Manchester United, forcing their way out of the EFL Cup aka Carabao Cup. To make things worse, they also lost to Nottingham Forest in the game prior, which further made scenarios worse for them in the Premier League table. Only a win can heal their wounds to some extent now.
Ipswich Town are only having a worse season. After nine games, they have only four points from four draws and are also one of the only three teams in the tournament to not taste a win yet. A win can lift them above the relegation zone, and they should eye only that and nothing less.

Key Players to Watch in Ipswich Town vs Leicester City
Jack Clarke (Ipswich Town)
The new arrival from Sunderland has been tried in every game since the third fixture, but the results have been forgetful since he has only one assist and no goal. The assist came against Aston Villa. With so many injuries, he has a chance to start and play for a full 90 minutes. Clark has a good opportunity in this one as the Leicester City defence is shaky. Goals from him can be a surprise.
Stephy Mavididi (Leicester City)
The No. 10 mainly plays from the left but hasn’t been that good this season. He has two goals, one in the fourth game, and one in the fifth game. But, otherwise, he has no other goal contributions. Mavdidi needs to come upfront and net a few. This game can boost his morale, as he won’t find an easier defense to crack. Providing assists or creating chances can also be beneficial for the team.
Ipswich Town vs Leicester City Prediction
This might be a dull game to watch, as both sides display poor attacking skills. But, goals are still expected for the shaky defence they carry with them. Leicester City might pull this game in their favour, with full points owing to their injury-free squad, and better tally in the league. Ipswich Town might fail to have an impact with a wrecked squad.
Predicted Score: Ipswich Town 1-3 Leicester City
