Manchester United meet relegation-battling Ipswich Town at Old Trafford in a Premier League encounter.
Victory could lift Man Utd up to 14th if Everton lose elsewhere, whilst Ipswich can move to within two points of safety with a win.

Man Utd have no fresh injury concerns to report following their 2-2 draw at Everton.
Jonny Evans, Kobbie Mainoo (both muscle), Lisandro Martinez (knee), Mason Mount (leg), Amad Diallo (ankle), Tobias Collyer (knock), Altay Bayindir and Luke Shaw (both unspecified) are still sidelined.
Ipswich will welcome defender, Axel Tuanzebe back from his suspension which saw him miss their 4-1 loss at home to Tottenham.
Conor Chaplin (knee), Jens Cajuste (ankle) and Kalvin Phillips (calf) are doubts but Christian Walton (groin), Wes Burns (ACL), Julio Enciso (knee) and Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles) remain ruled out.

Stat Attack

- Man United have scored 15 goals without conceding in their last three home games against Ipswich in the Premier League (W3).

Prediction
Extremely lucky to snatch a draw at Everton after a lacklustre opening 70 minutes, Man Utd can’t afford to be as bad as they were in that game because they lacked energy and intensity until they found their fluid attacking gears to snatch an arguably underserved point albeit with luck of VAR in injury-time.
Ipswich meanwhile just lacked much end product in their defeat to Tottenham which saw their defence outclassed but if they start like they did in that game, I really do think that they can cause huge issues for Utd’s fragile defence despite their poor away form at Old Trafford.
Nevertheless this should be a good entertaining game and I wouldn’t be shocked if Ipswich somehow nick a point if not victory if can be more clinical, as Utd do look there fore the taking if not careful.
Prediction: Man Utd 1-1 Ipswich
Result: Man Utd 3-2 Ipswich
