Match Preview
Ipswich Town host Nottingham Forest at Portman Road on Friday, October 23 in a Premier League fixture that carries real weight at both ends of the table. The Tractor Boys sit 19th and are looking to arrest a run of poor form, while Forest arrive off the back of a narrow defeat at Arsenal last weekend.
Gary O'Neil's side have found points hard to come by in recent weeks. A 3-2 loss to Manchester City on October 17 was their third defeat in five league outings, and they will need a response on home soil to keep their survival hopes on track.
Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, have endured a difficult run on the road. Oliver Glasner's men have lost three of their last five away matches and head into this one sitting 10th in the Premier League table, with ground to make up on the top half.
Forest's visit to the Emirates last Sunday ended in a 1-0 defeat, with substitute Noni Madueke's deflected strike proving the difference. Glasner will be looking for a sharper attacking display from his side this time around.
For Ipswich, home form has been a relative bright spot. The City Ground visit in October 2024 ended in defeat, but Portman Road has generally been a more comfortable environment for O'Neil's squad this season.
With both clubs needing points for contrasting reasons, Friday night's clash promises to be a tightly contested affair. Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch the match live.
