On 30 December, Ipswich and Chelsea are set to compete in the 19th round of the English championship. Everything is evident beforehand. Indeed, the hosts are determined and will persist in their efforts. However, the level of the guests remains significantly higher. Additionally, the Blues will have extra drive in this scenario. The Ipswich Town vs Chelsea match will kick off at 19:45 UK Time.
Chelsea dropped points in the previous two rounds. The club enjoyed a remarkable period, achieved a series of victories, and secured a position in the top two of the EPL. Initially, the Blues faced a lacklustre match against Everton, resulting in a goalless draw (0:0), followed by a defeat to Fulham (1:2). Cottagers Maresca’s team appeared poised for a win or at least a draw, but in the closing moments, the opponent found the net twice and secured victory.
The situation for Chelsea in the Premier League table has deteriorated, as they have fallen to third place, with Arsenal now positioned above them. The distance separating them remains slight, just one point. Liverpool is already distancing themselves with a seven-point lead.
Ipswich is currently facing its own challenge as it competes in the Championship of England, battling for survival. The club is currently struggling, sitting in 19th place within the relegation zone. It has 12 points, which is already two fewer than the 18th place Leicester, and three fewer than Wolverhampton, as they approach the crucial 17th position. Indeed, the gap may not be substantial, yet McKenna’s team must rally and focus their efforts.
Recently, Ipswich has experienced limited success, with just one victory against Wolverhampton (2:1). This triumph marked the second achievement for the group. This month, McKenna lost in the other matches against wards. The prospects for survival this season appear quite limited if the current situation persists.
