Everton vs Ipswich Town team news - as 10 players out and five doubtful

Everton aim to arrest a two-match losing streak when they welcome Ipswich Town to Goodison Park on Saturday

The Toffee have come to the end of a tough run of fixtures - with champions Liverpool, second-placed Arsenal, along with Champions League-chasing trio Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Chelsea all being played.

Everton competed in all of the games and took four points, but Moyes will want to see an upturn in results after a 2-0 loss to Man City followed by a 1-0 reverse at Chelsea last weekend.

In truth, Blues supporters heading into the clash will want to see nothing but a victory against an Ipswich side who have already been relegated from the Premier League. When the two sides met at Portman Road earlier in the campaign, Everton cruised to a 2-0 triumph.

Moyes will have the same expectations as fans ahead of the penultimate game to take place at Goodison before the move to Bramley-Moore Dock. Evertonians will want to soak up every moment and it may well be many people’s last time at the Grand Old Lady. Ahead of the encounter, here’s the latest team news for both sides.
