Ipswich been unlucky with results – Slot

Liverpool face Ipswich at Anfield in the Premier League with the hosts looking to consolidate their position at the top of the table.

Arne Slot’s side begin the day six points ahead of Arsenal and Nottingham Forest in a campaign that has seen them stay strong as rivals have faltered. A perfect Champions League record was preserved by victory against Lille in midweek, with a deep squad showing its worth as Slot’s substitutions provide consistent impact.

Their opponents this afternoon are a struggling Ipswich still reeling from a heavy 6-0 defeat to Manchester City last weekend – and things don’t get any easier here. Kieran McKenna’s side occupy 18th place in the table, below Wolves on goal difference, in what looks a developing three-way fight to avoid joining Southampton in dropping to the Championship. An upset win here would certainly boost the visitors’ hopes of staving off relegation.

Kieran McKenna says Ipswich still on the hunt for additions

Kieran McKenna says Ipswich are still in the market to improve their starting XI during the remainder of the January window.

Ipswich signed Julio Enciso on loan from fellow Premier League side Brighton on Thursday.

Manager McKenna insists any further signings will need to improve the starting line-up.

“We’ll have to wait and see. Look, we’ll go to the last day and try to improve the squad in any way possible,” he told reporters.

“We have enough depth in the squad. It’s only if we can add players who we think can have a really big impact on the starting XI or the matchday squad and improve us over the remaining games.

“If we can do that, we’ll do it. If that’s not possible we have good depth, everyone’s on board and everyone’s hungry.”
