Chelsea returned to domestic action on Sunday tasked with maintaining their challenge to finish in a Champions League qualifying spot.
The Blues had cruised to a 3-0 Conference League win at Legia Warsaw on Thursday but will hope to be dining at the top table next season.
Chelsea entered the weekend in fourth place and were hopeful of claiming three points against an Ipswich who appear doomed to relegation.
The Tractor Boys started 12 points adrift of safety with seven games remaining.
