Follow all the action from Portman Road
Follow live coverage as Ipswich Town face West Ham United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Ipswich Town vs West Ham United
Scary moment for Ipswich. A pass across the box by Bowen looked relatively harmless as there was no West Ham striker in the vicinity to add the finish. However, a goal almost came about. Tuanzebe may have been too relaxed as he touched the ball back to his goalkeeper, who was not expecting the pass back from six yards. Palmer managed to react and clear it to safety.

Both sides are struggling to hold possession, with their final passes lacking the required quality to bring about an early chance.

West Ham remain without the services of long-term absentees Crysencio Summerville and Michail Antonio, with the pair battling against hamstring and leg injuries, respectively. Fabianski starts in his last game in a Hammers shirt, while Ings starts from the bench in his last West Ham fixture before he departs the club. Bowen makes his 200th Premier League appearance, and he will look to make it four games in a row that he has scored in with another goal today.

Conor Townsend has failed to full recover from his hamstring injury and has not been named in the matchday squad with Kalvin Phillips also unavailable after he suffered a foot injury at the beginning of May, bringing an end to his Portman Road career. However, Sammie Szmodics has returned to the bench for this final day fixture after he suffered an ankle injury in February. He is joined on the bench by Ipswich’s top goal scorer, Delap, who will hope he sees action to add to his 12 goals this season.
