Follow all the action from Portman Road
Follow live coverage as Ipswich Town face Crystal Palace today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Ipswich Town vs Crystal Palace
There's the final whistle, and Mateta's goal means it's the visitors who come away from Portman Road with all three points as Crystal Palace beat Ipswich Town 1-0! The hosts didn't offer anywhere near enough in the final third and produced just 0.49 xG, with Liam Delap's header and Dara O'Shea's long-range effort barely testing Henderson before an unorthodox free-kick routine resulted in Jacob Greaves hitting the post. Palace, meanwhile, proved to be the more clinical of the two sides and broke the deadlock just shy of the hour mark; Eberechi Eze playing Mateta through and the striker beating two players before finding the back of the net. The Eagles produced 1.53 xG in total and saw another effort from Mateta saved by Arijanet Muric, but didn't have to do much else as they held on for just their second victory of the season, which takes them up to 16th in the Premier League table!

Hutchinson can't find a way through a yellow wall of Palace defenders and passes back to Clarke, whose cross into the middle is punched away from danger by Henderson.

Munoz is put into space down the right and hangs up a cross towards goal, but it's overhit and loops behind to land on top of the net!

OFF THE WOODWORK!!! Davis stands over an Ipswich free-kick from the edge of the box, but rather than shoot, passes short to Chaplin. He chips the ball to the far post where Greaves heads back across the face, but it bounces back off the opposite upright and behind before Al-Hamadi or Broadhead can turn it home!
