Both teams progressed comfortably in the FA Cup at the weekend and now return to league action. After their cup win, Kieran McKenna’s men must again focus on gaining points in the league and avoiding relegation. They’ve been in good form recently, getting a fantastic win over a Chelsea and a hard-fought draw with Fulham, so should go into this game with plenty of confidence.
The visitors do though have the attacking prowess to blow away a vulnerable home defence. We know that at their best Fabian Hürzeler’s side can cut through almost any team – something they did to Norwich in the FA Cup. They’ve been drawing a lot in the Premier League though and need to convert those 1-point results into 3. They will see this as an opportunity to do just that.
Here's how to watch Ipswich vs Brighton live streams where you are. Plus, make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action by checking out how to watch Premier League live streams.
