The Reds are considering options to replace Jurgen Klopp and may have noticed the fine work being done by Kieran McKenna. After securing promotion from League One last term, he has Ipswich firmly on track to earn a second-successive promotion that would see them back in the Premier League.
They’re six matches away from back-to-back promotions, however, it’s their biggest enemy that can play a major part in preventing that. Norwich will fancy their chances of damaging Ipswich ’s title hopes.
They are unbeaten in their last 11 league games against their rivals, not losing an East Anglian derby since 2009.In home meetings, they have won four and drawn four of their last eight, with history likely to motivate David Wagner’s side ahead of this clash.
Ipswich’s 31 points won from losing positions is more than any other side in the top four tiers this season, and the most by a Football League side since Manchester United in 2020-21 .Ipswich boss McKenna has been speaking about the importance of winning this derby.“Pretty much all of the boys live local, while some have come through the academy. There’s no getting away from it – they know that a game like this has extra significance.
“But I think they’ve shown, when there’s been that external pressure in the past, that they can step up really, really well time and again. “It’s special for the supporters and what’s special for the supporters is special for the players because that connection is so strong. We’ll be full of determination to make our supporters proud.“Some of the best experiences I’ve been part of have been going away to your rivals and picking up a result in their home stadium. There’s no better feeling than that.
