Newcastle United host Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Saturday, and our guide reveals which TV channel is showing the game where you are as well as providing a full preview of the match.

The Premier League season is reaching its climax, and with five games to go, Newcastle United are still in the hunt for Champions League football.

Eddie Howe’s Magpies ended their 70-year trophy drought by beating Liverpool to lift the EFL Cup, and now have their sights set on qualifying for Europe’s top club competition for the second time in three seasons.

Newcastle are currently fifth in the Premier League table, but could climb to third with a victory this weekend.

They take on an Ipswich Town side that are not yet mathematically relegated, but sit 15 points from safety with 15 available, and a goal difference 20 worse than 17th-placed West Ham.

The Tractor Boys are heading back to the Championship next season, along with fellow promoted sides Leicester City and Southampton, but will hope to finish their campaign on a high.

When these two sides met in December, it finished 4-0 to Newcastle at Portman Road.

Ahead of the action, we at SportsCasting have created a detailed guide that explains how to watch Newcastle Vs Ipswich, including TV channel and live stream info.

Newcastle United Vs Ipswich Town Stats

Despite Newcastle playing in a higher league than Ipswich for most of the 21st century, the pair’s overall head-to-head record is surprisingly close.

There have been 50 total meetings between the two, with 18 wins for Newcastle to Ipswich’s 17, and 15 draws.

However, Ipswich have won just two of the last 14 matches against Newcastle, with their most recent being a 3-1 Championship victory at Portman Road in April 2017.

The Tractor boys have not won at St James’ Park in far longer, though, last beating Newcastle away from home in 1985.

Former Newcastle forward is the top scorer in this fixture, netting seven for the Toon between 1971 and 1976.

Newcastle Vs Ipswich Predicted Lineups

Fabian Schar came off late on against Aston Villa with a hamstring issue, and despite suggestions that was a precautionary move, he has not been seen in any training images this week.

This leaves Newcastle short in central defence, with Sevn Botman and Jamaal Lascelles also struggling with knee complaints.

Emil Kraft may therefore be called upon to fill in at the back, but the rest of Eddie Howe’s squad is relatively healthy.

Newcastle predicted lineup: Pope; Trippier, Krafth, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Barnes

The same cannot be said for Ipswich, though. Kieran McKenna’s men are definitely missing defender Leif Davis after his red card for a nasty challenge on Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka.

On the treatment table are a host of Ipswich players definitely injured for this one.

Jaden Philogene (knee), Arijanet Muric (shoulder), Wes Burns (knee), Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles), Sammie Szmodics (ankle), Omari Hutchinson (thigh), Kalvin Phillips (calf) and Nathan Broadhead (thigh) are all out.

They may need a bigger table at this rate.

Ipswich predicted lineup: Palmer; Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Greaves, Burgess; Morsy, Cajuste; Johnson, Enciso, Clarke; Delap

Newcastle Vs Ipswich Prediction

With a mostly fit and well-rested squad, we full expect Newcastle to dominate against an injury-ravaged Ipswich side.

The visitors are likely to be officially relegated this weekend, even if they pulled off an unlikely win.

But such an upset is not something we see happening, with Newcastle the clear favourites.

Prediction: Newcastle 3-0 Ipswich
