Chelsea are fourth in the Premier League and will be confident of earning three points this Sunday. They are home to Ipswich Town who are 18th in the table and close to relegation. Can the Tractor Boys get a surprise win? Here's our match prediction.
The addition of an extra Champions League qualifying position means the Blues have a slightly better chance of qualification. They lead sixth-placed Manchester City by a point. However, wins for City and Aston Villa on Saturday would see Chelsea drop to sixth place. Newcastle are fifth and only behind Chelsea with a goal in hand, so the last thing they need to do is drop points at home to Ipswich Town.
The visitors are 12 points from safety and have an appalling goal difference. It really is just a matter of time until their relegation to the Championship is confirmed. Losing at home to Wolves last week really was a terrible result for them.

Chelsea - Ipswich Town: Form Analysis
Thursday saw Chelsea win 3-0 at Legia Warsaw in the Conference League. A semi-final place looks guaranteed but it's qualification for the Champions League they really want. The win in Poland extended their unbeaten run to three games, all with clean sheets.
Chelsea are out to make it six home league wins in a row.
In their last six league and cup games, only Arsenal have been able to score against them. Their most recent Premier League game saw them held to a goalless draw at Brentford. Home form is strong with the last five league games at Stamford Bridge all being won, the last three to nil.
Ipswich are edging closer to relegation. It would be a miracle if they can somehow make up a 12 point gap in the final seven games. They have only won four league fixtures all season with 19 defeats.
One of their wins was in the reverse fixture against Chelsea. Nine of their 12 league matches played since that victory have been lost with just an away win at Bournemouth. Last weekend saw them take the lead against 17th placed Wolves but end up losing 2-1.

Chelsea & Ipswich Town Squad Analysis
Chelsea have a busy schedule at present with their European campaign in addition to the Premier League. However, they have only once lost their next game following a European fixture. Plenty of changes were made for the trip to Warsaw
While the Blues have been keeping plenty of clean sheets of late, Robert Sanchez did not play in Poland. He is fully expected to be between the sticks for this match against Ipswich.
Palmer will be fit for this match.
One concern was that Cole Palmer had to go off at half-time on Thursday. That was not injury related apparently and he will play on Sunday. His form has started to improve again and he is an influential player for Chelsea. Fernandez and Caicedo could also make their return.
Nicolas Jackson could also start after recovering from his hamstring injury. He could replace Christopher Nkunku who hasn't scored in the last two games while Jackson has been out. Missing a penalty against Warsaw hasn't helped his cause either.
Ipswich aren't quite at the point of no return but they are getting close. How different it would have been if they hadn't lost to Wolves last week, especially ater leading. Conor Townsend was injured in that game and he's doubtful for this game which would add to their already massive defensive problems.

Our Chelsea vs Ipswich Town Prediction
Even with five places available, it's still going to be a tough Champions League qualification battle. Chelsea have some tough games remaining, including Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. Dropping points at home to Ipswich is therefore unthinkable.
Chelsea are in good form though and proving difficult to score against. Ipswich are on their way down but showing a bit more fight than Leicester and Southampton. They concede far too many goals though. Our main Chelsea v Ipswich Town prediction is Chelsea to win and lead at half and full time.
