If we look at the rolls of the goalkeepers on both teams, West Ham's Alphonse Aréola is doing a far more commendable job, and let's face it folks that's worth worth its weight in gold, or at least in goals prevented. Alex Palmer from Ipswich Town simply needs to step up his game.
The players from each team give us some noteworthy stats to consider, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Tomáš Souček, and Jarrod Bowen are the little "engine-that-could" trio from West Ham. They've been posting some promising figures indeed. Aaron's pass accuracy could put a Swiss watchmaker's precision to shame, while Jarrod Bowen's goal count tells the tale of a man who knows his way around the net.
Switching sides to Ipswich Town, Jacob Greaves, Leif Davis and Omari Hutchinson aren't exactly slouches. Greaves and Davis have been passing with a surgeon's precision and Hutchinson seems to be the point man when it comes to taking the shots.
Nonetheless, let us not forget the past. The last time these two teams met, West Ham were the ones playing the victory tune with a 4-1 thumping. Ipswich Town seems to be singing a sad song all season long with a record of 4-10-23, while West Ham has been managing to keep their heads above water with 10-10-17.
Now let's talk about recent results. West Ham, winning, losing, and tying in a down-the-middle manner, while Ipswich Town couldn't have a win if they were handed one on a silver platter, as evidenced by their recent results.
So, based on my impeccable judgement and considering all the factors in play, It's safe to say that Ipswich Town better not get their hopes up.
