Sunderland vs Ipswich Town: EFL Championship Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

Sunderland aims to recover from the previous season’s playoff letdown as they commence their Championship journey against Ipswich Town on Sunday. Despite both teams being in separate leagues last season, Ipswich, who secured the League One runner-up position, are anticipated to mount a challenge for back-to-back promotions.

Considering Sunderland’s Championship playoff berth last season as a welcomed bonus doesn’t negate the disappointment of missing out on consecutive promotions. Tony Mowbray’s efforts elevated the team, needing victories over Luton Town and Coventry City for a Premier League return. Yet, the current focus lies in regaining momentum. The addition of seven players bolsters the squad, some replacing outgoing loanees and peripheral players. Retaining Jack Clarke and Ross Stewart is pivotal. Emphasizing young talent recruitment, Sunderland’s potential for another promotion push hinges on a strong start at the Stadium of Light. While a six-game unbeaten pre-season run ended with a 5-2 loss to Hartlepool United, spotlighting potential depth needs arose.

Ipswich is experiencing a similar momentum to Sunderland’s post-promotion surge a year ago, with a tangible realization beyond mere words. Kieran McKenna hasn’t made as many anticipated additions following their second-place finish, but the club had already secured Championship-caliber players in previous transfer windows. Newcomers like Jack Taylor from Peterborough United, Chelsea’s Omari Hutchinson, and returning loanee George Hirst bolster the squad. Ipswich had an unconventional pre-season, playing two matches on the same day three times. Yet, clinching the Innsbruck Cup against RB Leipzig and Werder Bremen has elevated expectations at Portman Road.

Sunderland probable starting lineup: Patterson, Hume, Ballard, O’Nien, Cirkin, Neil, Ekwah, Roberts, Bellingham, Clarke, Semedo
