After the EFL Cup action this week, Premier League football returns with Everton taking on Ipswich Town. The Toffees are still unbeaten in the division, with one win and three draws. This is not so bad considering that they lost Ilyman Ndiaye over the summer and ended the window with just one senior striker, Thierno Barry.
As for Ipswich, they have won games that they had a realistic chance of winning. However, they have fallen short against top sides, including Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, this week in the EFL Cup. Victories against Sunderland and Crystal Palace in the league have meant that they are currently 10th, which is just behind Everton on goal difference.

The last time the two sides met, Beto and McNeil were on the scoresheet for the Toffees. However, both players have now left the club, with McNeil joining Crystal Palace and Beto going to Fiorentina. Beto leaving Everton means only Barry is the striker option. David Moyes' side nearly signed Folarin Balogun, but the USMNT walked away from the deal late on deadline day.
One of Ipswich's goalscorers when they last met was Julio Encisco. Then he was only on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion. After a spell at Strasbourg, he is now back with the Tractor Boys and has had a good start to the season.
Ipswich and Everton have met infrequently since the turn of the century. The Tractor Boys were relegated from the Premier League in 2002 and did not return for 22 years. Despite their relegation in the 2001/02 season, Ipswich were unbeaten against Everton.
A notable goalscorer for Everton when they met in 2002 was David Unsworth. He had two spells at Everton, with stints at West Ham United and Aston Villa inbetween. His spell with Villa remarkably lasted just one month.
