Ipswich – Liverpool

Ipswich’s hopes of climbing the table were dented at Portman Road as Liverpool secured a 0‑2 away victory. The win moved the Reds to seventh place on six points, matching Ipswich’s tally but with a superior goal difference after keeping a clean sheet. Ipswich remain ninth, also on six points, but their two defeats this season have left them with a –3 goal margin. This result also tipped the head‑to‑head balance in Liverpool’s favour, giving them their first triumph over Ipswich after a goalless draw earlier in the campaign. Both clubs now look to the next round to improve their positions in the tightly packed mid‑table.
