Leeds United visit the Portman Road Stadium on Saturday (August 26) to face Ipswich Town in the EFL Championship, looking to pick up their first win of the season.
After three years in the Premier League, Leeds were relegated to second division this summer. With only 31 points from 38 games, the Peacocks finished second from bottom in the top flight.
Now back in the Championship, Leeds have continued from where they left off last season, going winless in their opening three games of the campaign.
Daniel Farke's side began with a 2-2 draw against Cardiff City before a narrow 1-0 loss to Birmingham City. On matchday three, Leeds stumbled once again with a 1-1 stalemate against West Brom. With just two points in three games, the West Yorkshire outfit are down in 19th in the Championship.
Meanwhile, Ipswich are flying high with three wins from three, a record matched only by Leicester City in the division. The Tractor Boys, though, sit ahead of the Foxes on goal difference.
It's particularly impressive, as Ipswich are playing in the Championship after five years but have quickily acclimatised to new surroundings and taken it by storm.
Their barnstorming run includes a 2-0 win over Bristol Rovers in the first round of the Carabao Cup, making it four wins from four across competitions.
