Ipswich vs Fulham predicted line-ups: Fatawu suspension opens selection spot

← Back to Match CentreIpswich v Fulham

Ipswich Town host Fulham at Portman Road on Saturday 10 October, with kick-off at 3pm UK time.

Abdul Fatawu’s suspension creates a selection decision for the hosts, while Fulham are assessing Tom Cairney’s readiness following his return to training.

These are provisional predicted line-ups rather than confirmed starting teams.

Ipswich predicted line-up

Possible XI (4-2-3-1): Walton; Ouattara, Diop, O’Shea, Davis; Lukić, Palacios; Philogene, Enciso, Clarke; Emersonn.

Jaden Philogene gets the nod in this prediction to replace Fatawu. Daizen Maeda is another option identified in pre-match team-news reporting.

Issa Diop could face his former club alongside Dara O’Shea in central defence.

Jack Taylor’s availability remains uncertain following his knee injury.

Fulham predicted line-up

Possible XI (4-2-3-1): Leno; Castagne, Affengruber, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Charles; Bobb, King, Iwobi; Gonzalo García.

Robinson’s inclusion remains subject to his fitness, with the left-back among Fulham’s reported concerns.

Fulham’s pre-match press conference update says Cairney has returned to full training, although Saturday could come too soon for the midfielder.

Kenny Tete could also return to the matchday squad following concussion, providing another option at right-back.

When are the confirmed teams announced?

Official line-ups are expected at 1.45pm BST, 75 minutes before kick-off, under the Premier League’s team-news schedule.
