Everton preview: Struggling for goals again
Everton slipped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge last weekend and Moyes has now won just ONE of his 77 Premier League away games against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd (W1, D21, L55).
The Toffees created a couple of very good goalscoring opportunities but were once again let down by poor finishing and will be hoping for a much more clinical display against Ipswich.
Orel Mangala, James Tarkowski, Jesper Lindstrom and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have all been ruled out of Saturday's clash with the Tractor Boys but Armando Broja returns to the squad.
Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), Mykolenko, Patterson, Branthwaite, O'Brien, Gueye, Doucoure, Garner, Harrison, Beto & Ndiaye

Player to watch: Iliman Ndiaye
Iliman Ndiaye has been the most pleasing on the eye Everton player this season and the Senegalese international top scores for the Toffees this season with seven Premier League goals.
Ndiaye, who was dragged off at halftime in the 1-0 defeat at Chelsea, will be looking to impress on Saturday in what will be the penultimate game at Goodison Park for Everton.
Can Ndiaye inspire the Toffees' attack?
We're expecting Ndiaye to put on one of his style and skillful displays this weekend against a leaky Ipswich defence and have backed the 25-year-old to score for the home side.
