Premier League Preview: Brighton and Hove Albion
The Fabian Hurzeler project is now half a season in and appears to be going through a bit of a dip currently. The Seagulls sit 10th in the league following four straights draws and their last win came all the way back in November when they beat Bournemouth 2-1.

FA Cup Preview: Bristol Rovers
It’s another game against Bristol Rovers who will likely be sick of the sight of Ipswich Town having faced them in League One two seasons ago, in the Carabao Cup last year, when Town knocked them out with a 2-0 victory, and now the clubs face each other again in the third round of the FA Cup.

Premier League Preview: Fulham
It’s been a tough winter period for Fulham but they have come out of it with a very good haul of seven points out of games, among them excellent draws against Arsenal and Liverpool.

Premier League Preview: Chelsea
Chelsea have the biggest squad in the Premier League thanks to Todd Boehly’s scattergun approach to transfers. The squad is so big that there are different players registered in the Premier League and the Europa Conference League.

Premier League Preview: Arsenal
As far as Christmas periods go they don’t get much tougher than this. Following a 4-0 defeat to a Newcastle side that was a class above, Town now have to try and get something against the teams that currently sit second and third in the Premier League.

Premier League Preview: Newcastle United
Ipswich v Newcastle is always a big fixture thanks to the fact that the great Sir Bobby Robson managed both sides and the two sets of fans have huge affection for him.

Premier League Preview: Wolverhampton Wanderers
I’ve refused to use the term must win in recent times but Town’s situation is getting trickier and trickier with still only one win on the board so far. A trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have conceded by far the most goals in the league with 38, could be just the fixture that Town need to turn things around after three straight defeats.

Premier League Preview: AFC Bournemouth
Not many teams will beat Arsenal or Man City this season, even fewer will beat both but that’s exactly what Bournemouth did in October and November.

Premier League Preview: Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace look like they’re going to be one of Ipswich Town’s relegation rivals this season. Following a resurgence and a 10th place finish under Oliver Glasner last season, this capaign hasn’t quite gone to plan for the Eagles.

Premier League Preview: Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest have been flying. They sit seventh in the table and have only lost three games all season, a 1-0 defeat to Fulham, a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle and a 3-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Premier League Preview: Manchester United
My first game at Portman Road was on Tuesday 22nd August 2000 when an early Fabian Wilnis goal was cancelled out by a David Beckham free-kick as Town earned a point against Manchester United. On Sunday I'll be watching those two clubs face off once again.

Premier League Preview: Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham are one of the most exciting teams in the Premier League to watch right now. They’ve scored the second-most goals in the division and often play with an incredibly attacking front five.

An Imperfect Ten
After ten games back in the Premier League, no doubt we all have our impressions of how life in the supposed Promised Land has so far panned out. Here are mine –

Premier League Preview: Leicester City
Leicester are currently the newly promoted side faring the best in the Premier League with two victories (Bournemouth and Southampton) and three draws (Everton, Crystal Palace and Tottenham) in nine Premier League games so far.

Premier League Preview: Brentford
I’ll admit, I thought Brentford would struggle following the sale of Ivan Toney but once again Thomas Frank has found a solution and for me is up there as one of the best managers in the league.

Premier League Preview: Everton
One half of Liverpool has already visited Portman Road, now it’s the turn of the Blue half as Sean Dyche’s Everton make the trip down south.

The Premier League – Am I Enjoying It?
Around 2005, I went to see Bob Dylan play at Hammersmith Apollo. I’d wanted to see him live for over twenty years and was incredibly excited leading up to the gig. What a spectacular disappointment. He was totally uninterested, and the whole evening was flat.

Premier League Preview: West Ham United
The David Moyes era at the London Stadium has ended. Despite European success in the Europa Conference League and a ninth place position in the Premier League last season, it was seen as time for a fresh start in an attempt to play more progressive football.

Premier League Preview: Aston Villa
Aston Villa are back in Europe's top competition for the first time since the 1982/83 season having won the trophy the year before.

Premier League Preview: Southampton
Southampton haven’t had the best start to the season. Sticking to their principals of possession-based passing football but coming unstuck to two 1-0 defeats before more comprehensive losses to Brentford and Manchester United.
