Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town meet at Selhurst Park with both sides looking to climb away from the lower reaches of the table after identical starts to the campaign.
Crystal Palace sit 13th with three points, currently two points and eight places off the Europa League places. After starting the season with losses to Everton and Manchester City, new manager Pierre Sage secured his first Premier League win last weekend in a 3-2 comeback victory over Fulham. The Eagles maintained that momentum midweek with a 3-0 EFL Cup win over Middlesbrough.
Ipswich Town occupy 14th place, also on three points and two points off the Europa League spots. Following an opening day win over Sunderland, they have suffered consecutive league defeats, losing 5-2 to Manchester United and 0-2 to Liverpool. Having conceded eight goals in three games, they travel to London seeking to tighten a defence that has been the most porous in the league so far.
