Pre-match preview: Crystal Palace vs Ipswich Town

This is a classic 'six-pointer' early in the season between two sides tied on 3 points. Palace manager Pierre Sage secured his first win last week (3-2 vs Fulham) and looks to build momentum at Selhurst Park, which has historically been a graveyard for Ipswich. Both teams are desperate to move away from the bottom third of the table.

The scoreline is skewed toward 3-1 because of Ipswich's defensive crisis (8 goals conceded in 3 games) and Palace's recent attacking surge (6 goals in 2 games). The absence of Mateta/Sarr is mitigated by Strand Larsen's elite form, preventing a low-scoring outcome.
