Ipswich Town vs Liverpool Picks

Ipswich Town looked strong as they won their first Premier League game back. However, there 5-2 drubbing from Manchester United on the weekend showed a number of cracks in the team.

Liverpool look far from the finished product but have managed to avoid losing. Under Andoni Iraola it will take time, but the Reds will most likely find all three points in this game.

Other markets include Florian Wirtz to have two or more shots on target, Victor Munoz to have two or more accurate crosses and Abdul Fatawu to draw two or more fouls.
