- Ipswich and West Ham have scored in eight of their nine previous Premier League meetings, except for a 1-0 away win for Ipswich in March 2001.

Prediction
With Leicester facing a tricky trip to Bournemouth, Ipswich simply have to bring more intensity and clinical finishing than they did against the Foxes last weekend if want to finish above them and earn more prize money.
West Ham meanwhile just lacked the final polished touch on their end product until too late so I would like to see a more clean performance as they’ve improved their attacking intensity lately, whilst the chance to finish above Tottenham will also motivate them here.
Nevertheless this is a dead rubber but if West Ham do make those small tweaks to their final touches, I can see them taking a comfortable win.
Prediction: Ipswich 0-2 West Ham
Result: Ipswich 1-3 West Ham
