Gary O'Neil's side began their return to the top flight with an impressive 2-1 win against Sunderland and they followed that up with a Carabao Cup second round win against Leicester City.

However, it was a tough day at the office for Ipswich last weekend as The Tractor Boys lost 5-2 at Manchester United with O'Neil's men giving up 28 shots and 11 on target at Old Trafford.

Ipswich, who are simply aiming to avoid relegation back to the Championship this season, will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways on Friday but they face the tough task of hosting 2025 title winners Liverpool.

The Reds, meanwhile, are still searching for their first win of the season after playing out two 2-2 draws against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

Liverpool, who landed Bradley Barcola from PSG in a deal worth up to £123 million this week, will be hoping a win on Friday night will kickstart their season as they look to secure Champions League football again.

Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Ipswich v Liverpool on TV and online.
