Ipswich Town aims to take advantage of West Ham United's struggles when they visit the London Stadium for a Premier League showdown on Saturday afternoon.
Julen Lopetegui's start at the London Stadium has not met expectations, as pressure mounts with only one victory in his first six league matches at the helm.
On the other hand, Ipswich Town is still in search of their debut Premier League win but can take satisfaction in their season's beginning. They have accrued four points from six games and currently sit outside the relegation zone.

Team news & squads
West Ham team news
West Ham will be missing striker Niclas Fullkrug as he continues to recover from a calf injury, which means Michail Antonio is likely to lead the attack once more. However, head coach Julen Lopetegui might opt for Danny Ings or Jarrod Bowen to take on the central role instead.
Edson Alvarez returns from suspension after missing last weekend's match and could replace Guido Rodríguez in the holding midfield position, joining Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta in the centre of the pitch.
Jean-Clair Todibo made his full Premier League debut against Brentford and is expected to continue partnering with Max Kilman in central defence, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Emerson Palmieri are likely to keep their spots as full-backs.
West Ham United possible XI: Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson; Alvarez; Bowen, Soucek, Paqueta, Kudus; Antonio

| Goalkeepers: | Areola, Fabianski, Foderingham |
| Defenders: | Cresswell, Zouma, Coufal, Mavropanos, Todibo, Kilman, Aguerd, Wan-Bissaka, Palmieri |

Ipswich team news
For Ipswich, there are no new injury issues, but they will evaluate the fitness of Harry Clarke (Achilles) and Nathan Broadhead (hamstring), who have recently resumed training.
Manager Kieran McKenna will consider whether to give Jack Clarke another start on the left wing or bring back fellow summer signing Sammie Szmodics, while Chiedozie Ogbene is anticipated to start on the right over Wes Burns.
The back four of Axel Tuanzebe, Dara O'Shea, Jacob Greaves, and Leif Davis is expected to remain unchanged, with Kalvin Phillips—who spent the second half of last season on loan at West Ham—set to continue alongside captain Sam Morsey in central midfield.
