Tottenham will be hoping to enter the upcoming international break closer to the Premier League top four when they take on Ipswich Town later today.
A 3-2 loss to Galatasaray midweek put an end to Spurs' unbeaten start in the Europa League, but despite the loss, the Lilywhites should be entering today's clash with confidence due to their impressive home record of late. Spurs have won their last six home games across all competitions, including a 4-1 win over Aston Villa most recently.
Ange Postecoglou's side were the Premier League's top scorers this season heading into the weekend, with Dominic Solanke starting to find his feet in the Spurs side. Next up for Spurs is relegation-battling Ipswich, with the Tractor Boys the only side yet to win a Premier League game this season.
So, can Spurs get back to winning ways in the Premier League this weekend? Let's take a look.
We simulated Tottenham vs Ipswich Town to get a score prediction
To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 25 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.
We predict that Tottenham could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Bentancur, Kulusevski, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son.
We predict that the visitors could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Muric; Johnson, O'Shea, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste; Hutchinson, Chaplin, Szmodics; Delap.
It was a frantic start in north London, with Liam Delap silencing the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as he headed in a cross from close range to give Ipswich a shock lead after just three minutes. The lead didn't last long though as Heung-Min Son was brought down inside the penalty box two minutes later, and the South Korean dispatched the spot kick to make it 1-1 just five minutes in.
Despite the hectic opening to the game, the affair quieted down quickly, with neither side creating anything worth noting as they entered the half-time break. Postecoglou's side began the second half with a spring in their step, and in the 61st minute, they completed the turnaround to take the lead.
Some fancy footwork from Son on the left saw him dance along the byline and into the box, evading a few half-hearted challenges along the way. The forward fizzed a pass into the feet of Solanke who smartly let the ball run through his legs to Brennan Johnson, and a first-time strike from the Welshman found the bottom corner, making it 2-1 to the hosts.
Timo Werner had some massive opportunities to make it 3-1 when he was played through one-on-one with the 'keeper on two occasions, but both times, the German failed to find the target. Pressure was starting to build on Spurs as they entered the later stages of the game, but in the 86th minute, they could relax, with Ipswich giving away another penalty which Son once again fired home to confirm the three points.
