Premier League football match between Leeds United and Ipswich Town at Elland Road.
Leeds United take on Ipswich Town at Elland Road on Saturday 5 December, a Premier League clash that brings the Tractor Boys back to West Yorkshire. It's a home game for the Whites, and for anyone following the season, it's one of those fixtures that carries a bit of history between the two sides.
Ipswich Town are the ones to watch here. They earned their way back into the Premier League at the first time of asking, putting together 84 points under Kieran McKenna. McKenna has since moved on, and Gary O'Neil is the man in charge now, so it'll be interesting to see how the side looks under his leadership. They're coming into this as a team that knows how to get results, and they'll be looking to build on that momentum.
If you've followed the recent meetings, you know these two tend to produce plenty of goals when they play at Elland Road. The last time Ipswich visited, Leeds dispatched them 4-0, and the return trip to Portman Road was a seven-goal thriller that ended 4-3 in Leeds' favour, with Joël Piroe and Willy Gnonto both getting on the scoresheet. Between those two games, that's eleven goals in two matches, so there's a bit of a pattern of high-scoring affairs when these two meet.
