Ipswich Town will wear their blue and white home kit for Saturday's Premier League match away to Hull City. The club confirmed the choice for the fixture at the MKM Stadium, where both sides are level on 10 points in the table. Ipswich currently sit 12th in the Premier League with that total of 10 points from eight games, having recorded three wins and a draw.
Gary O'Neil's side go into the game 12th in the Premier League after eight matches. Their recent form has been mixed, with one win, one draw and three defeats in their last five outings. This sequence of results, which reads one win, one draw and three losses, includes a 2-1 victory over Fulham, a 3-2 defeat to Manchester City, and the 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest. The most recent was a 1-1 draw at home to Nottingham Forest last Thursday, where Julio Enciso scored the equaliser in the 87th minute. Enciso had also scored in the 41st minute of that match. The team's next match after Hull is at home to Aston Villa.
A victory could lift Ipswich as high as sixth, providing a significant boost. They face a Hull side that has not lost at home in four games but has struggled for wins since August. Hull also have a lengthy injury list including Eliot Matazo, Matt Targett and Charlie Hughes. Hull City currently sit 10th in the table ahead of Saturday's match.
For Ipswich, Jack Taylor is definitely out and Sasa Lukic faces a late assessment on a groin problem. Both J. Taylor and S. Lukic are currently sidelined. Zian Flemming, who has scored both of Town's away goals this season, will be a key threat. Flemming scored a penalty in the 90th minute of the 3-2 defeat to Manchester City. The team has scored 12 goals this season but conceded 16. The full squad and injuries list is available for supporters.
This is the first-ever top-flight meeting between the clubs. Ipswich have won three matches this season against Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Fulham. The game kicks off on Saturday at the MKM Stadium.
