Aston Villa v Ipswich Match Preview
Aston Villa will look to close in on the top four in the Premier League when they host relegation battlers Ipswich at Villa Park.
Unai Emery’s side lost to Wolves in their last league outing and will be looking to return to winning ways after success in the FA Cup against Tottenham.
Ipswich start the weekend in the drop zone but could climb out with a win on the road, although Villa have lost just one of their last 20 Premier League games against opposition in the relegation zone.

Aston Villa v Ipswich Prediction
Buoyed by their exciting new attacking signings – if still weakened with injuries at the back – Villa should have more than enough to see off an Ipswich side who have lost each of their last four Premier League games – their longest losing run of the season.
Expect Rashford to prove a point in a sharp display as Villa win 3-1.
