How do the two teams set up?

Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Chelsea

Chelsea are built to control games. They should hold most of the ball at Stamford Bridge and pin Ipswich back for long periods.

Away · promoted

Ipswich Town

Ipswich are in their first season back and still learning the pace of the division. Expect a compact shape on their trip to Stamford Bridge, long spells without the ball and danger from set pieces.

What would change our mind?

The developments we would react to before kick-off.

  • If Chelsea name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.

  • If Ipswich score first

    The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.

The story of Chelsea vs Ipswich

Chelsea take on Ipswich Town in front of their own fans, and the Wazir Win numbers lean Chelsea's way. The gap in expected goals (2.78 for Chelsea, 0.56 for Ipswich) is the clearest signal, and it is what produces our 83% for Chelsea. Ipswich's best route is to keep it level into the last half-hour, when the draw becomes a live result.
