Matt Piper has issued a stark warning to Leicester City, cautioning them to brace for a resolute response from Ipswich Town following their resounding defeat at the hands of Leeds United.
Ipswich endured a humbling 4-0 loss at Elland Road in their recent fixture, marking only their third defeat of the season despite maintaining a strong second position in the Championship standings. As they prepare to host table-toppers Leicester at Portman Road on Boxing Day, the club remains determined to bounce back and demonstrate their unwavering resolve against the six-point lead of the Foxes.
According to Piper, the atmosphere at Portman Road is set to be electric, with the Ipswich faithful creating an impassioned environment as the players launch a determined assault on Leicester. Piper emphasized the formidable challenge that Leicester will face, stressing Ipswich’s refusal to succumb to a second consecutive defeat, particularly on home turf during the Boxing Day fixture.
Piper’s analysis on the BBC’s When You’re Smiling Podcast highlighted Ipswich’s unwavering determination to avoid successive losses following their comprehensive defeat by Leeds. Anticipating a fervent crowd and an aggressive Ipswich approach, Piper underscored the team’s resilience and prowess, especially in their home performances.
Despite their recent winless streak, Ipswich aims to reclaim their winning form, underlining their commitment to maintaining their standing and competing with fortitude against the competition, particularly as they strive to retain their advantage over Leeds in the standings.
