Ipswich vs Sunderland Preview

Newly-promoted Ipswich square off against Sunderland at Portman Road, with kick-off set for 10:00 on Saturday 22 August.

Ipswich Town, now under new manager Gary O'Neil, have invested heavily in their squad, with attacking midfielder Julio Enciso, centre-forward Emersonn, right-winger Abdul Fatawu, right-back Abdoul Ouattara and defensive midfielder Florentino among their leading summer arrivals. Goalkeeper Arijanet Muric, right-back Harry Clarke, centre-back Elkan Baggott and right-midfielder Wes Burns are among the players to have left the team.

Ipswich secured automatic promotion to the Premier League by finishing second in the Championship last season. They collected 84 points from 46 matches, 11 points behind champions Coventry.

They ended the campaign with a 3-0 home victory over Queens Park Rangers at Portman Road. The Tractor Boys enjoyed 53% possession and registered seven shots on target, with George Hirst, Jaden Philogene-Bidace and Kasey McAteer all finding the net.

Régis Le Bris' Sunderland have been relatively quiet in terms of new arrivals so far this summer, with right-back Thomas Meunier one of the few additions to the squad. There has been more movement in the opposite direction, with centre-forward Eliezer Mayenda, central midfielder Dan Neil, centre-forward Nazariy Rusyn, left-back Dennis Cirkin and goalkeeper Anthony Patterson among the players to have left the Black Cats.

Sunderland enjoyed an excellent season as newcomers, finishing seventh in the Premier League with 54 points from 38 matches and securing European qualification. They ended the 2025/26 campaign with a 2-1 home victory over Chelsea at the Stadium of Light. The Wearside club had 45% possession and registered six shots on target, with Trai Hume finding the net alongside a Malo Gusto own goal.
