Tottenham Hotspur Aims for Third Consecutive Win Against Ipswich Town

2025-03-02

Tottenham Hotspur will face Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Saturday afternoon, seeking to extend their recent run of form with a third consecutive Premier League victory. Spurs, who currently sit 12th in the league, have shown signs of improvement after securing wins against Brentford and Manchester United, their first back-to-back victories since September. Key players such as James Maddison, Guglielmo Vicario, and Brennan Johnson have returned to bolster Ange Postecoglou’s squad, easing the team’s injury concerns.

However, Tottenham face a stern test against Ipswich, who claimed a 2-1 victory over Spurs at the Hotspur Stadium earlier in the season. Kieran McKenna’s side, currently 18th and two points from safety, have struggled since that win, managing only two more victories in the league. Despite their precarious position, Ipswich will be eager to complete a league double over Tottenham.

The match, scheduled for a 3pm kick-off, will not be broadcast live on UK television due to English football’s Saturday blackout rule, which prohibits live broadcasts of 3pm games to protect attendances across the football pyramid. Instead, fans can access short highlights on the Sky Sports app and YouTube channel approximately 20 minutes after the final whistle. Extended highlights will be shown on BBC’s Match of the Day at 10:30pm, while Sky Sports will air 30-minute highlight programmes later in the evening. Live updates will be available on Radio 5 Live and talkSPORT.

For international viewers, the game will be available through local Premier League broadcasters, with US fans able to watch on Peacock and Middle Eastern viewers tuning in via beIN Sports Connect. Tottenham’s starting lineup sees three changes from their previous match, with Destiny Udogie, Archie Gray, and Brennan Johnson returning to the side. Ipswich, meanwhile, will be led by captain John O’Shea as they aim to secure a crucial victory in their battle against relegation.
