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.

What they're saying

BBC Sport examines some of the key themes before Saturday's match between Crystal Palace and Ipswich (15:00 BST), with newly promoted Town hoping to avoid a third consecutive defeat. Crystal Palace earned their first Premier League win under Pierre Sage by beating Fulham 3-2 last weekend, but the head coach was notably magnanimous afterwards, admitting he was "disappointed for the other team and the coach, they had opportunities too". Sage stressed Boro were "a really good team", adding: "I want to congratulate them – the score is for us, but they played well."

"

Coventry City will again attempt to get off the mark for both points and goals as they face a Brighton side who have created more big chances than any other top-flight team so far this season. BBC Sport takes a look at the key themes going into Sunday's fixture. Having lost their first three league games of a season without scoring for the first time in their history, the Sky Blues now host the Seagulls desperate to get the ball in the back of the net and their campaign up and running.

"

Crystal Palace picked up their first win under Pierre Sage last weekend, which was really important for them. This feels like an important game for Ipswich after two successive defeats but I don't know why I am thinking they will get a point because that's not going to happen, is it?
