Liverpool will be hoping to pick up their first Premier League victory of the season when they travel to take on Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Friday night.
The Reds have made a slow start to their league campaign, drawing their opening two matches. That makes the trip to Ipswich an important opportunity for Liverpool to get their season moving in the right direction.
Ipswich, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back after a difficult outing against Manchester United. The newly promoted side suffered a 5-2 defeat at Old Trafford and will be determined to put in a stronger performance in front of their home supporters.

Liverpool searching for a breakthrough
Liverpool have started the season with two consecutive 2-2 draws against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest, leaving Andoni Iraola still waiting for his first Premier League victory as Reds manager.
The result makes Friday’s trip to Portman Road an important one, with Liverpool eager to turn their promising attacking displays into three points.
New signing Bradley Barcola is also available to make his Liverpool debut after joining from Paris Saint-Germain. However, Iraola has yet to decide whether the France international will start or come off the bench.
Ipswich hoping to cause an upset
Ipswich will have home advantage and will be looking to make the most of it against one of the Premier League’s biggest clubs.
The hosts know they face a difficult challenge, but a strong performance and a positive result against Liverpool would provide a major boost to their campaign.
When is Ipswich Town vs Liverpool?
The Premier League match will be played at Portman Road on Friday, September 4, 2026.
Kick-off: 10:00 PM Uganda time.
The match is scheduled for 8:00 PM BST, which is 10:00 PM in Uganda.
Liverpool will be expected to push for all three points, but Ipswich will hope their home support can help them produce a surprise result.
For Liverpool, however, the objective is simple: get their first Premier League win of the season.
