Ipswich go into their match against Aston Villa on Sunday without a Premier League win since earning promotion.

Kieran McKenna's outfit face a Villa side that are currently third in the top flight.

Match Preview

Ipswich Recent Form

Ipswich lost their opening two games of the season against Liverpool and Manchester City.

Since then they have gone three unbeaten, drawing 1-1 with Fulham, 0-0 with Brighton and 1-1 with Southampton.

Ipswich Injury News

Janoi Donacien is definitely out, with doubts over Kalvin Phillips, Nathan Broadhead and Harry Clarke.

All three will have to pass fitness tests prior to kick off on Sunday.

Last Ipswich Lineup

Here's how Ipswich lined up against Southampton.

Aston Villa Recent Form

Since the loss against Arsenal in the second game of the season, Aston Villa have gone on a superb run of five straight victories across three competitions.

They've beat Leicester, Everton and Wolves in the Premier League, Young Boys in the Champions League and Wycombe in the League Cup.

Aston Villa Injury News

Boubacar Kamara and Tyrone Mings are still recovering from serious knee injuries and probably won't be match fit until the middle of October.

John McGinn suffered a thigh injury against Wolves and has been ruled out, though Lucas Digne could make a return.

Diego Carlos and Matty Cash are touch and go.

Last Aston Villa Lineup

Here's how Villa lined up against Wycombe.

Ipswich - Player To Watch

Samuel Szmodics is one of only three players to have found the back of the net so far this season in the league for Ipswich. He's adapted to his new surroundings quickly since his summer switch from Blackburn.

Aston Villa - Player To Watch

Jhon Duran can't stop scoring at the moment, but it's likely Ollie Watkins will be restored to the starting XI for this one. With the Colombian breathing down his neck to get into the team, we might see Watkins find his best form again.
