Tottenham have won just three of their 10 Premier League games against Ipswich (D3 L4). Excluding ever-present sides, it’s their lowest win rate against any opponent they’ve faced 10+ times in the competition.

Ipswich have won their last three Premier League games against Spurs, completing the double over them the last time they met in 2001-02. They’ve never won four consecutive league games against them.

Tottenham have won 32 of their last 36 Premier League home games against promoted sides (D2 L2), and haven’t failed to score in any of their last 42 such games since a 1-0 loss to Wolves in December 2009.

Ipswich have lost their last five Premier League away games against London sides, conceding at least two goals each time (16 in total). However, 33% of their Premier League wins in London have come against Spurs (2/6), including their last such victory in December 2001.

Tottenham have conceded the first goal in each of their last four Premier League home games, but have come back to win the last three. No team has ever conceded first but gone on to win four consecutive home games in the competition before.

Tottenham have lost their last two Premier League games in the weekend (Saturday/Sunday) immediately following a European match, going down 3-2 at Brighton and 1-0 at Crystal Palace. Only twice have they lost three consecutive such matches, doing so from December 2012 to March 2013 and from September to October 2019.

Ipswich remain winless in their 10 Premier League games this season (D5 L5), their longest run without a win from the start of a top-flight season. They’ve lost their last two away games 4-1 at West Ham and 4-3 at Brentford, last conceding 4+ goals in three consecutive away league games in March 1964.

None of Tottenham’s last 26 Premier League home games have finished in a draw (W18 L8). The last team to have a longer such run in the top-flight were Liverpool (28 between April 1963 and August 1964).

Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke has applied more pressures in the final third than any other player in the Premier League this season (212).

Ipswich’s Leif Davis has created more chances than any other defender in the Premier League so far this season (25). Meanwhile, Spurs’ Pedro Porro has had more shots than any other defender this term (19).
