Kjell Scherpen - Five saves in loss Scherpen made five saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Impact Scherpen made five saves during Friday's clash, but it didn't matter after he allowed two goals in the opening 10 minutes. The goalkeeper was solid after Alexander Isak beat him twice in quick succession. Against a team like Liverpool, those two early goals were insurmountable and put the match in a tough spot. Scherpen will have a better chance in some more manageable matches.

Exequiel Palacios - Four tackles in midfield Palacios generated four tackles (two won) and two interceptions in Friday's 2-0 defeat against Liverpool.

Impact Palacios was tasked with slowing down the Liverpool midfield and he did passably well. The midfielder was busy shutting down wave-after-wave of attacks and causing issues for the Liverpool midfield. He didn't get a chance to get forward in a game that Liverpool controlled, but it was still a nice performance even in a loss.

Jacob Greaves - Busy in backline Greaves recorded one tackle (zero won) and six clearances in Friday's 2-0 defeat versus Liverpool.

Impact Greaves made six clearances and a single tackle during Friday's loss. It was a busy match for the defender despite Liverpool scoring twice in the opening 10 minutes. He's going to have plenty to do throughout this season as Ipswich fight to stay up. Greaves' upside is likely to come exclusively through his defensive contributions.

Issa Diop - Busy defensively Diop generated two tackles (two won), eight clearances and one interception in Friday's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool.

Impact Diop was busy throughout Friday's match, he had everything to do defensively to try and slow down this Liverpool attack. He was unable to really do so, but he did pile on some impressive defensive volume. The defender has the talent to be a solid piece of this backline, but he will be limited outside of that volume as Ipswich try to stay competitive.

Dara O'Shea - Three tackles in loss O'Shea recorded one cross (one accurate) and three tackles in Friday's 2-0 defeat versus Liverpool.

Impact O'Shea made three tackles Friday and sent in a single cross. It was always going to be a tough match for the defender as a heavy underdog. He put together a decent showing, but it wasn't enough to really make a difference as Liverpool scored twice early. O'Shea has limited upside for a Ipswich team that will likely be underdogs in most matches.

Sasa Lukic - Three crosses in defeat Lukic registered three crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Friday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Lukic sent in three crosses, coming from three corners during Friday's defeat. It was an odd game as Liverpool pulled out to a big lead in the opening 10 minutes. It was hard for Lukic to really get involved from open play as Liverpool controlled the match from start-to-finish. Against other opponents, Lukic should have more of a chance to pull the strings.

Daizen Maeda - One shot in defeat Maeda recorded one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 2-0 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Maeda took a single shot during Friday's loss, putting it on target, but not particularly threatening Alisson's net. The forward was a threat during the match but didn't really get too many chances on the ball. Maeda will have to be extremely efficient with his chances that are likely to be few and far between.

Leif Davis - Creates pair of chances Davis recorded one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Friday's 2-0 defeat against Liverpool.

Impact Davis created a pair of chances Friday, whipping in four crosses and taking a shot, though that came off target. The defender offers some good upside going forward, but will often be tasked with staying back as Ipswich aren't likely to really dominate any matches. Still, Davis adds width and pace to the attack, which can give him threat in any match.

Abdul Fatawu - Six crosses Friday Fatawu recorded two shots (zero on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and one corner in Friday's 2-0 defeat against Liverpool.

Impact Fatawu sent in six crosses but couldn't quite craft out any big chances during Friday's defeat. It was always going to be difficult to break down the backline, especially once Liverpool took a two-goal advantage. Fatawu should have a better time against some more beatable opponents, but Ipswich will be underdogs more often than not throughout this campaign.

Julio Enciso - Six shots in loss Enciso had six shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Friday's 2-0 defeat against Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 41st minute.

Impact Enciso took six shots and created a pair of chances during Friday's loss. The attacking midfielder was busy throughout the match and crafted some very good chances, but it wasn't enough to break down the Liverpool backline. Enciso has some solid upside in an attack that will run through him throughout this campaign.

Jaden Philogene - Closing in on return Philogene (ankle) is getting close to a return but remains a doubt for Friday's Premier League clash against Liverpool, according to coach Gary O'Neil.

Impact Philogene appears to be making progress after previously being considered week-to-week, with manager Gary O'Neil's latest comments suggesting the winger is nearing a return to contention. Friday could still come too soon, however, and his status will need to be monitored closer to kickoff. His eventual return would provide a significant boost to the attack after he recorded 12 goals and two assists in the Championship last season.

Impact Luis is finally ready to enter the fold after missing Ipswich's opening two league matches with an undisclosed issue. The midfielder has trained throughout the week and could make his club debut against Liverpool, though it remains to be seen whether manager Gary O'Neil will immediately hand him a starting role or ease him back from the bench. With Azor Matusiwa still unavailable, Luis' return provides a timely boost to Ipswich's options in central midfield.

Azor Matusiwa - Remains unavailable Matusiwa remains unavailable for Friday's Premier League clash against Liverpool, according to coach Gary O'Neil.

Impact Matusiwa continues to work his way back after undergoing muscle surgery at the end of last season and will miss another Premier League fixture. There's still no firm date for the midfielder's return, meaning Florentino Luis and Sasa Lukic should continue to handle the majority of the minutes in central midfield against Liverpool.

Impact Flemming will get a new opportunity at the highest level of competition, having ended the 2025/26 campaign in good form considering he scored six goals over the first 15 games of 2026 while playing for a team at the bottom of the table. He may have to adapt to his new club's system before pushing for minutes in the rotation with Emersonn (knee) and Chuba Akpom.

Cameron Humphreys - Extends Ipswich deal, loaned out Humphreys has joined Huddersfield Town on loan for the remainder of 2026-27 while also extending his Ipswich contract through 2028, the club announced.

Impact Humphreys made 21 league appearances with two goals and two assists during a loan spell at Huddersfield in the second half of last season, and he returns to Yorkshire for a second stint after struggling for regular minutes at Ipswich this preseason despite manager Kieran McKenna's praise for his work rate. He previously impressed on loan at Wycombe Wanderers in 2024-25, scoring seven goals in 48 games, and has also featured for Ipswich in League One and Championship spells since coming through the academy. The extended contract gives Ipswich control over his future beyond this season while he looks to build on last season's form back at Huddersfield.
