Current Form and Standings

Blackburn have had a mixed start to this season, winning two and losing three of their opening five games. This has seen them score and concede the exact same amount of goals, with some big victories such as their 3-0 away win against Hull City, but some poor losses like their 2-0 home loss against Norwich City.

Ipswich having just come down from the Premier League would have seen them want to start strongly in a bid to return to the top flight, instead it hasn't been that straightforward so far. One win, one loss and three draws sees them in 14th place after five games, having scored nine goals and conceding five.

Key Players to Watch: Blackburn vs Ipswich

Jaden Philogene (Ipswich) Philogene has started this season in fine form with three goals in the four games he has featured in so far. The winger struggled to nail down a place in Kieran McKenna's Premier League side last season only playing 11 games, but appears to be set to play an integral part in Ipswich's bid to return to the big time this season.

Chuba Akpom (Ipswich) The forward is only on loan from Ajax but will be looking to recpature the Championship form he showed at Middlesbrough a few years ago this season. Akpom is yet to get off the mark this campaign, but that will only fuel his hunger and it shouldn't be long before he breaks his duck.

Todd Cantwell (Blackburn) Cantwell put on a good showing throughout last season and was a very important part of the Blackburn squad. This season he has once again started in top form scoring two goals and getting a rating of 7.53 in the games he has played.

Ryan Hedges (Blackburn) Hedges has been at Blackburn for a good few years now but has started this season the best of the lot. A goal and an assist against Hull city and a solid performance in the 1-0 victory over Watford have seen him loom a real threat thus far.
