Chelsea vs Ipswich Team News: Confirmed Lineups And Preview For Premier League Clash

Here’s the latest Chelsea Vs Ipswich lineups and confirmed team news ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.

Sunday’s clash in West London sees two sides face off with very different fortunes this campaign.

Chelsea are chasing Champions League football, and will move back into the top four with a win.

Ipswich, meanwhile, could be relegated within a week if they lose Sunday’s game and next weekend’s against Arsenal – if Wolves were to pick up a couple of results.

Even if results go the Tractor Boys’ way, they are currently 12 points from safety with 21 available, meaning it would take a highly improbable turnaround for them to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.

Ipswich cannot be mathematically relegated this weekend, though, so will hope to cause a huge upset when they take on Chelsea at the Bridge.

Chelsea Vs Ipswich Team News

Defender Wesley Fofana has undergone surgery on his hamstring, meaning the Chelsea man will miss the remainder of the season.

Both midfielder Romeo Lavia and striker Marc Guiu are still out, but manager Enzo Maresca has said he is hopeful both will be involved again between now and the end of the campaign.

Ipswich are without former Chelsea man Omari Hutchinson, with the winger missing last weekend’s loss to Wolves with a hamstring problem.

Conor Townsend is only fit enough for the bench after his own hamstring issue, so Leif Davis slots in at left-back.

Star man Liam Delap drops to the bench, with Scotland international George Hirst leading the line.

All of Wes Burns, Chiedozie Ogbene, Sammie Szmodics and Arijanet Muric are still missing for the Tractor Boys.
