Chelsea:

Mauricio Pochettino’s side has shown more consistency in recent weeks, particularly in cup competitions. With attacking stars like Palmer and Jackson in form, they will look to make home advantage count.

Ipswich:

Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich are fighting for Premier League promotion and are no strangers to big occasions this season. They’ve already pulled off cup wins over top-flight sides and will believe they can do it again.


Key Players to Watch

Chelsea

  • Cole Palmer – The top scorer for Chelsea this season, Palmer’s creativity and goal-scoring ability from midfield will be central to breaking down Ipswich.
  • Enzo Fernández – The Argentine midfielder controls the tempo and provides crucial cover in transition. His experience will be vital.
  • Levi Colwill – With Chelsea rotating the backline, Colwill’s composure and physicality will be key against Ipswich’s pressing forwards.

Ipswich Town

  • Conor Chaplin – The attacking midfielder is Ipswich’s heartbeat. His movement between the lines and set-piece delivery make him a threat.
  • Nathan Broadhead – With pace to burn, Broadhead can stretch Chelsea’s defense and is lethal on the counter.
  • Vaclav Hladky – The goalkeeper will be under pressure throughout the match. His shot-stopping ability could keep Ipswich in the game.

WeaknessesVulnerable to direct playDefensive depth vs elite attack

Chelsea’s Approach:

Expect Chelsea to dominate possession with a high defensive line, looking to overload wide areas and create space centrally for Palmer and Mudryk. Their midfield duo will dictate tempo and recycle play quickly.

Ipswich’s Strategy:

Ipswich are likely to press Chelsea early but will also prepare to defend deep and hit on the break. Chaplin and Broadhead will look to exploit any space behind Chelsea’s full-backs.
