Following their worst loss of the Premier League season, Liverpool will take on an Ipswich team on Saturday.
After losing to Manchester City 6-0 at home the previous time out, the Tractor Boys now have their most difficult assignment of the season when they go to Anfield.
At the same time when Arsenal, their main championship challengers, are away at relegation-threatened Wolves, the Reds, who have more of the league’s best home records this season, will be confident of continuing that streak. Top-seeded in the Premier League, Arne Slot’s team prepared for this match by defeating Lille 2-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The kickoff for Liverpool vs. Ipswich is set for Saturday, January 25, 2025, at 3 p.m. GMT. Anfield is where the game will be played. Where can I watch Liverpool vs. Ipswich on TV?
The match will not be shown live in the UK since it falls during the Saturday 3pm blackout. Free highlights: Match of the Day will air on BBC One at 10.30 p.m., while highlights will be available on the Sky Sports app and YouTube channel starting at 5:15 p.m.
Curtis Jones had an injury during the victory over Lille in the middle of last week, but Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai were substituted in advance, so they will both be healthy for this weekend. Arne Slot stated, “The plan was to take Ryan and Dom off at halftime.” Dom stayed a little while longer because Curtis was unable to continue.
Trent Alexander-Arnold will start on Saturday regardless of Conor Bradley’s removal in the 86th minute as a precaution.
Darwin Nunez, who once more failed to create an impression, should be replaced by Cody Gakpo, who was rested.
Kalvin Phillips, who missed the previous game against parent club Manchester City, will be available for Ipswich once more. With Conor Chaplin, Chiedozie Ogbene, Axel Tuanzebe, and Sammie Szmodics out due to injury, it’s a matter of as you were otherwise.
After watching an allegedly struggling Man City team defeat Ipswich by six goals last weekend, Liverpool will understandably be wondering how much more they can score.
The Reds will be somewhat rejuvenated with a somewhat rotated squad in midweek, which will be very beneficial. Arne Slot will want to ensure that his team’s six-point lead at the top of the table is at least intact at 5 p.m., as Arsenal is playing at the same time, which is uncommon this season.
