, fully aware that a loss will guarantee them a trip to the Carabao Cup quarterfinals.
The only team to defeat Tottenham Hotspur this season is Marco Silva’s group. The only mark on Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs resume thus far is the Cottagers’ victory over them on penalties in the previous round, despite the fact that Spurs are officially still undefeated in ninety-minute games.
Conversely, Ipswich Town is having a fantastic season in the English football second division. With a game remaining, Kieran McKenna’s team is five points behind leaders Leicester City in second place in the EFL Championship.
In order to gain promotion to the Premier League, the Tractor Boys will be eager to continue their efforts. However, the EFL Cup offers a pleasant diversion in and of itself. Ipswich will be confident in their chances with home support since this is the first time they have advanced to the fourth round since the 2010–11 campaign.
Ipswich will enter the match with confidence after defeating Wolverhampton Wanderers of the Premier League the previous time. The Fulham team will be much more formidable than the Molineux team. However, the home team may be able to use momentum to their advantage.The Hard Tackle examines potential lineups and strategies for both teams on Sunday.
Team Updates & Strategies, Essex Town
The Championship team has four times failed to advance past the semifinals and has never won the tournament. The most recent one occurred in 2010–11 when they lost 3–1 overall to Arsenal.
If Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich Town loses this evening, he will be concerned about losing steam. Portman Road will be alive with activity as a spot in the final eight is up for grabs. It’s clear that the Championship side is content right now.
This season, the Tractor Boys have won 14 of their 16 games across all competitions. They are unaffected by the challenge and should once again take the game to their distinguished opponents, having only recently emerged from League One.
Due to an injury, Lee Evans is not playing for the home team. He received a booking against Wolves, so even if he had been fit, his suspension would have prevented him from playing. Elkan Purse
Not all bad news, though, as McKenna will be getting back Axel Tuanzebe and Freddie Ladapo, who both started on the bench against Plymouth Argyle. They were not used as substitutes that evening, and it is unclear if they will be given minutes this time.
Vaclav Hladky in goal means that the 4-2-3-1 formation will probably be kept. The back four of Harry Clarke, George Edmundson, Luke Woolfenden, and Brandon Williams ought to cover him.
The double picot should be formed by Jack Taylor and Sam Morsy, giving Marcus Harness, Omari Hutchinson, and Freddie Ladapo the opportunity to advance. George Hirst should continue playing up front after scoring a goal over the weekend.
(4-2-3-1): Harness, Hutchinson, Ladapo; Hirst; Clarke, Edmundson, Woolfenden, Williams; Morsy, Taylor; Hladky.
