Follow live coverage as Aston Villa face Ipswich Town today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.

After watching their side lose their last four Premier League games, Ipswich fans could have been forgiven for fearing the worst against an Aston Villa side whose last home reverse came against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup three and a half months ago.

We rate the Villa players after Saturday's 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town. Other than a couple of first half shots straight at him, didn’t have a lot to do except pick the ball out of the net. A decent defensive performance from the Spaniard, who does not look too out of place in the Premier League. Final ball was a disappointment.
