Tottenham vs. Ipswich Town lineups, confirmed starting 11, team ...
Ange Postecoglou hopes to keep the good times rolling as Tottenham host promoted side Ipswich Town in London on Sunday.
Spurs have won nine of their past 12 matches across all competitions dating back to mid-September, turning around their early-season struggles and quietly becoming one of the most in-form teams in Europe. They have climbed to seventh in the league table and could find themselves in the Premier League's top four hunt by the end of the weekend.
They are building towards a big match against off-colour Manchester City after the international break, which could announce them as true contenders for a Champions League place. However, defeat in the Europa League at Galatasaray midweek provided a splash of cold water to indicate not all is sunshine and rainbows.
Ipswich Town are trending in the opposite direction, sitting inside the relegation zone having failed to win a single match thus far. They have managed to scrape together five draws in 10 games but have yet to emerge from a match victorious.
