Crystal Palace hosts Ipswich Town in upcoming Premier League match
Summary

Crystal Palace hosts Ipswich Town at 15:00 BST this Saturday in the Premier League. The Eagles enter the fixture following their first league win of the season, a 3-2 victory over Fulham. Head coach Pierre Sage is seeking back-to-back top-flight wins for the first time this calendar year. Conversely, Ipswich Town arrives looking to avoid a third consecutive league defeat after losses to Manchester United and Liverpool. Town manager Gary O'Neil has identified a need to eliminate defensive errors that have plagued the team, as the club has failed to keep a clean sheet in 22 top-flight matches. Defenders Tyrick Mitchell and Ben Chilwell scored for Palace in their last outing, while Ipswich captain Dara O'Shea may move from right-back to his preferred centre-back position to address the team's ongoing defensive struggles.
