Ipswich Town will be no pushover when they travel to the London Stadium for a Premier League match with West Ham, which carries far more significance than it should.

The Tractor Boys are only one place below us in the league and are nobody’s whipping boys, having been unbeaten in their last four games.

Kalvin Phillips and Ben Johnson return to East London with points to prove for different reasons, but with the exception of a 4-1 loss to Manchester City, Ipswich has looked competitive in every game.

I sat down with my Hammers Chat partner in crime, Geo, to take a look at the chances of both teams, and in particular, who Julen Lopetegui will select to play against Kieran McKenna’s side.

While we both agree on the composition of Lopetegui’s defense, we have some differences in midfield and attack for a game that is something of a must-win for the Irons.

Join us as we preview that rarest of fixtures… a 3 PM Saturday kick-off.
