SHOCKING NEWS;Ipswich Town vs Everton English Premier League kick-off time has been postponed recently
Ipswich Town are still searching for their maiden Premier League win of the season ahead of their encounter with Everton at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon.
Kieran McKenna’s men are currently hovering just above the relegation zone following seven rounds of action upon their return to the big time.
After drawing four top-flight games on the trot, the Tractor Boys tumbled to a 4-1 defeat away at West Ham before the international break.
Ipswich have had a fortnight to stew over that setback but they can expect another stern test when Everton pitch up at Portman Road.
Having kicked off the campaign with four straight losses in the Premier League, the Toffees have steadied the ship with five points from the last nine on offer.
Last time out, Sean Dyche’s side battled their way to a spirited 0-0 draw with Newcastle, on an evening where my recommended Bet Builder landed.
How the bookies view it: Tractor Boys to triumph
Despite failing to win a Premier League game this season so far, Ipswich are 11/8 favourites on Betano.
Everton are 9/5 outsiders on Betano to claim what would be their first Premier League away win of the season, while a point apiece at Portman Road has been priced up at 12/5 with the same firm.
Head to head: History favours the hosts
While the two teams have not come up against each other for over 20 years, Ipswich could draw some hope from their record in this fixture. The Tractor Boys are unbeaten in each of their last four top-flight meetings with the Toffees, claiming top honours from three of those tussles.
Players to watch: McNeil to make his mark?
Dwight McNeil has been one of Everton’s standout performers this season so far, notching four times across his nine appearances to date. Thus, the even-money with Bet 365 for the Everton ace to register one or more shots on target on Saturday holds plenty of appeal.
