- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Portman Road (Ipswich)
Ipswich returned to the Premier League for the first time since 2002, but they could play in the Championship the next year again as the team from Portman Road collected only 12 points from 18 matches. Ipswich are only three points behind the safety, so they are still in a solid chance to avoid relegation. Ipswich surely have to play better than in the previous few weeks as they lost five defeats in the last six matches. In the previous game, Kieran McKenna's team lost 1-0 on the road against Arsenal. The guests didn't offer almost anything, and the home side could win with an even larger margin.
After two bad seasons without the top-four finish, Chelsea made a big step forward as they, so far, collected 35 points. Enzo Maresca's team was in spectacular form with eight wins in a row, but in the previous two matches, Chelsea won only one point. On the Boxing Day, Maresca's team lost 2-1 at home against Fulham. The guests punished Chelsea's mistakes and secured and took all three points home. The upcoming tie against Ipswich will be a good chance for Chelsea to regain some confidence.
Ipswich vs Chelsea pick: Under 3.5 goals
Ipswich scored only scored only seven goals in the last nine matches. On the other hand, Chelsea allowed only four goals in the previous four games. We shouldn't see more than three goals in the upcoming tie at Portman Road.

Chelsea team news
Chelsea have some problems, too. Mykhailo Mudryk is suspended due to doping, while Omari Kellyman, Benoit Badiashile, Wesley Fofana, and Reece James are injured. Carney Chukwuemeka, Romeo Lavia, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have some chances to recover until Monday, and their status will be clearer much closer to the kickoff.
