Liverpool will be looking to pick up their first Premier League win under Andoni Iraola when they make the trip to Portman Road to face Ipswich Town on Friday night.
The Reds recorded consecutive 2-2 draws against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest, and they were forced to come from behind in both contests as Dominik Szoboszlai's stoppage time penalty salvaging a point at St James' Park before Victor Munoz netted the equaliser against Oliver Glasner's men at Anfield.
Ipswich's elation from their opening day victory over Sunderland was soon erased in a sobering second half at Old Trafford as the Tractor Boys conceded five to Manchester United, and they will be hoping a return to home soil will enable them to cause an upset.
Ipswich's record signing Emersonn opened his account against Sunderland, but the Brazilian striker picked up a knock in the defeat against Manchester United and is a doubt for Friday's clash.
Concerns around Emersonn's availability means deadline day recruit Zian Flemming could be thrust straight into the starting XI. The 28-year-old, signed from Burnley for £20million, scored 11 times in the Premier League last season.
Gary O'Neil has no other fresh injury concerns to contend with and the rest of the XI may remain unchanged. Exequiel Palacios made his Premier League debut at Old Trafford and the Argentine will be pushing for a starting berth over Marcelino Nunez.
Florentino Luis may feature from the bench, but the fixture will probably come too soon for Azor Matusiwa, who is currently recovering from a thigh issue. Jack Taylor and Jaden Philogene remain sidelined.
Portman Road is expected to be the scene of Bradley Barcola's Liverpool debut following his £123m transfer from Paris Saint-Germain. However, Iraola may refrain from throwing him straight into the starting XI and the Frenchman is likely to be on the bench.
That allows Cody Gakpo to continue from the left after his excellent start to the season, while Munoz will be aiming to build on his first Liverpool goal from the right. Florian Wirtz is expected to support Alexander Isak again in the No.10 role.
Ryan Gravenberch is set to battle with Alexis Mac Allister for a starting berth alongside Szoboszlai in midfield, while Iraola is expected to retain the same back four that started against Newcastle and Forest as Jeremy Jacquet partners Virgil van Dijk, Jeremie Frimpong starts at right-back and Milos Kerkez continues at left-back.
Joe Gomez remains sidelined along with Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike and Giovanni Leoni. Federico Chiesa is a doubt with a back issue.
Predicted Ipswich Town team
Scherpen; O'Shea, Diop, Greaves, Davis; Lukic, Nunez; Fatawu, Enciso, Maeda; Flemming.
Predicted Liverpool team
Alisson; Frimpong, Van Dijk, Jacquet, Kerkez; Szoboszlai, Gravenberch; Gakpo, Wirtz, Munoz; Isak.
