The Portman Road club had been languishing in League One, but two consecutive promotions took them all the way to the Premier League. They failed to establish themselves there, but spent only one year back in the Championship. After returning to the top flight, the newcomers even began with a victory, although it was followed by a heavy defeat. In the latest round, they managed to beat Crystal Palace again, this time away from home, winning 3-2.
The London giants finished last season in the long-awaited first place. They lost the Champions League final to PSG only on penalties. This season, the English side began their European campaign against Napoli and won 1-0. Before that, they had already thrashed Manchester City 3-0 in the Super Cup and started the Premier League with a series of victories. On Saturday, they recorded a "grandmaster-like" 2-0 win over Sunderland.
In the League Cup, the Premier League newcomers found the strength and motivation to overcome Leicester. That match also took place at this stadium, with the hosts winning 3-1. For the English champions, this will be their first match in the competition.
