Tottenham host Ipswich in the Premier League. Spurs have had a tough time of it so far this season, while Ipswich have settled into life back in the top flight better than many might have expected.
This one's still a month away, so there's room for things to shift before kickoff. Right now, though, the league table tells a story that flips a few assumptions about these two clubs.

Recent form
Tottenham's recent results, across competitions, show a side drawing a lot of games rather than losing outright, including goalless draws against Everton and Nottingham Forest. They've also lost at home to Newcastle and away at Aston Villa this season, so results haven't quite clicked.

Ipswich's sample is more mixed: there's a heavy 5-2 defeat at Manchester United and a 3-2 loss away at Crystal Palace, but also wins over Sunderland and some promising cup form. It's not a clean run either way.
Comparative Team Statistics: Tottenham vs Ipswich

Head-to-head
Their last two Premier League meetings have gone opposite ways. Tottenham won 4-1 away at Ipswich in February 2025, but Ipswich won 2-1 at Tottenham the previous November. There's also an older pre-season friendly from 2020, which Spurs won 3-0, though that's a different era for both clubs.

| Premier League | Tottenham | Ipswich | 10.11.2024 | 1-2 |
| Friendlies Clubs | Tottenham | Ipswich | 22.08.2020 | 3-0 |
Head-to-head form is split rather than clearly favouring either side.
Where they stand
Tottenham are currently bottom of the Premier League table, with just three points from six games and three draws to show for it. Ipswich sit tenth with nine points from seven matches, a solid return for a side newly up from the Championship.

| 13 | Ipswich | 9 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 14/18 | 11 |
| 14 | Everton | 8 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 8/9 | 10 |
On the league table alone, Ipswich have made the stronger start of the two.
Ipswich's key men
We've only got player data for Ipswich here. Emersonn and L. Davis have each scored twice in their last five matches, while J. Enciso has added two assists in the same span. A. Fatawu has picked up three yellow cards and a red in his last five games, which is worth keeping an eye on given the risk of a suspension before this fixture comes around.

What to watch
With kickoff still a month out, both sides have time to find more consistency. Tottenham's recent matches swing between heavy wins and defeats, so there's no obvious pattern to lean on yet. Ipswich are enjoying their position in the table but have shown they can be beaten comfortably when things go against them.

Without market numbers to work from, and with both teams showing uneven form, this looks like one to revisit closer to kickoff.
Ipswich's position in the table is the headline point for now, but Tottenham have shown they can pull results back before, so it's worth seeing how both sides settle in the weeks ahead.
