Ipswich Town have not beaten Aston Villa in the Premier League since 1994, as the Tractor Boys welcome Unai Emery’s side on Super Sunday.
Kieran McKenna’s side are in for a tough ask on Sunday afternoon, as the Tractor Boys welcome Aston Villa to Portman Road in GW6 of the Premier League.
The blue side of Suffolk have made a steady start to their returning campaign in England’s top-flight, picking up three points from five matches – but are still looking for their opening win.
In recent years, Ipswich have been one of the biggest fairy tale stories in English football, earning consecutive promotions from League One to the Premier League.
However, Aston Villa have also been on a strong ascension, finishing fourth in the Premier League and earning a place in the Champions League for the first time.
The Villains have accumulated 12 points from their first five matches, making a stellar start to the season and winning their last three in a row.
Unai Emery’s men have also made a strong start to their Champions League campaign, beating Young Boys 3-0 away from home.
This means the Villains will be full of confidence going into Sunday and will have an extra boost, as Ipswich have not beaten Villa at Portman road since 1992.
Furthermore, the Tractor Boys have won just two of the last 15 meetings, with Aston Villa winning 10 and two ending in a stalemate.
