Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna has spoken in his latest press conference as they prepare to face league leaders Liverpool.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot said Ipswich Town have been "unlucky" in games since their promotion to the Premier League.

Ipswich were hammered 6-0 by Man City last Sunday and their manager Kieran McKenna sounded worried ahead of a trip to Anfield as he couldn’t find many flaws as he praised Slot’s team. Ipswich have struggled upon their return to the Premier League as the Tractor Boys currently find themselves 18th in the league standings.

McKenna confirmed there are no new injuries since their last match and said it is "not impossible" that Omari Hutchinson could feature. He added that Conor Chaplin is still a few weeks from returning, while Axel Tuanzebe is "not far away".

The Brighton star, struggling for playing time, opted for a loan move to Ipswich for the remainder of the season. According to Tuttomercatoweb, United considered Enciso as a potential replacement for Alejandro Garnacho, who is linked with a move away from the club this month.

Ipswich Town have completed the signing of forward Julio Enciso on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion for the rest of the season. The loan deal does not include an option to make the move permanent and Ipswich will cover Enciso’s wages in full.

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna concedes there currently are 'very few' strikers available that he thinks could improve his team.

Two new signings could debut for Ipswich: Julio Enciso from Brighton and Jaden Philogene from Aston Villa. Sammie Szmodics, Conor Chaplin, and Chiedozie Ogbene are out for the Tractor Boys, with Axel Tuanzebe faces a late fitness test.
