Moyes is right about Ipswich – but Everton know what’ expected at home

Everton host Ipswich Town as unbeaten run continues

Everton go into this weekend’s game against Ipswich Town unbeaten in six matches across all competitions. This update, published in late September 2026, looks at where David Moyes’ side stand and answers a question many fans are asking: is Everton v Ipswich on TV?

The Toffees have drawn with Manchester United and beaten Tottenham during that run. Confidence is high. They followed those results with a 1-0 win over Wolves in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup tie, Tyler Dibling setting up Carlos Alcaraz for the only goal. For more on that game, check our Carabao Cup match guide.

Jarrad Branthwaite has also returned to the side after a spell out with injury, giving Moyes a timely boost at the back. For the wider picture on the squad, our latest Everton news and talking points covers the build-up in more detail.

Moyes warns Toffees fans over rising expectations

Despite the good form, Moyes has been careful to temper expectations ahead of Ipswich’s visit. He does not want supporters or players assuming an easy afternoon simply because Ipswich sit lower in the table.

I don’t think you can take any team for granted, and certainly if people are raising their expectations because of the opposition, they’ve certainly got it wrong

That warning, according to David Moyes, applies as much to supporters as it does to his own dressing room. Moyes is not fooled by Ipswich’s position. He wants the same respect shown to Ipswich that his players have shown Manchester United and Tottenham this season.

Ipswich threat and previous encounters

Ipswich Town arrive with six points from four games and some form of their own. They won 3-2 at Crystal Palace last weekend, a result that shows they can hurt sides who take them lightly.

The two sides last met in May 2025, when Everton led 2-0 at Goodison Park through goals from Beto and Dwight McNeil. Ipswich hit back through Julio Enciso and George Hirst to earn a 2-2 draw. Moyes admitted afterwards that his side could not “shrug them off” that day, a memory that shapes his caution now. Our key Everton v Ipswich stats put that meeting and the wider head-to-head record into context.

Is Everton v Ipswich on TV?

Broadcast details for this fixture have not been confirmed through official channels at the time of writing. Supporters should check official Premier League and broadcaster listings closer to kick-off for the final word on coverage.

What is confirmed is the man in the middle. Stuart Attwell has been named referee for the match. You can find full referee details for the match elsewhere on the site.

What happens next

Everton will look to extend their unbeaten run to seven games when Ipswich visit Hill Dickinson Stadium. A win would keep the pressure on the sides above them, while Moyes will be watching closely to see whether his warning has been heeded.

With Branthwaite back in defence and confidence high after the Wolves win, Everton have the tools to avoid a repeat of last season’s draw. Ipswich, buoyed by their win at Crystal Palace, will not make it straightforward. You can read more background in our Moyes’ pre-match warning coverage.
