Ipswich's home league form meets a Fulham side still without a Premier League win, who have not scored in either away game.

Ipswich are the likelier winners, with goals at both ends also plausible. No quoted price is worth taking: the 2.60 on Ipswich is about fair, while both teams to score at 1.57, over 2.5 goals at 1.70 and under 10.5 corners at 1.75 offer nothing extra.

Context

Fulham have taken a point from each of their last two league games, drawing 1-1 with Manchester United and 0-0 at Liverpool, but three straight defeats to Chelsea, Sunderland and Crystal Palace leave Arbeloa without a win. The trip to Portman Road opens a three-game run against promoted sides — Ipswich, Hull City and Coventry City — being treated as the point at which his first campaign can be judged. Fulham's build-up play has held up; the damage has come from the chances conceded after losing possession, which is why a meeting with another promoted side carries real weight. Nothing in the evidence indicates his position turns on this single result, so the pressure is context rather than a forecast.
- Fulham drew 1-1 at home with Manchester United and 0-0 at Liverpool but are still without a Premier League win this season after losing to Chelsea, Sunderland and Crystal Palace.
- Fulham's next three league fixtures are Ipswich Town, Hull City and Coventry City, all promoted from the Championship last season.
- The club is prepared to give Arbeloa time, with that run seen as a fair basis for judging progress rather than a trigger for a change.

Fatawu is listed as an attacker in Ipswich's squad, so the suspension removes a wide option from Gary O'Neil's matchday pool for a home game against a Fulham side still seeking its first league win. Ipswich are also carrying a knee doubt in midfield, which leaves the attack as the area most exposed at Portman Road. Who starts in Fatawu's place on the flank is not established by the available evidence, so the selection consequence stops at the absence itself.
- Abdul Fatawu is listed as suspended for Ipswich Town's Premier League match against Fulham on 10 October.
- A supporter post on 19 September also stated Fatawu would miss the Fulham game through suspension.
- A. Fatawu started 4 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.

A misconduct charge can carry a touchline ban or a fine, which could remove Fulham's head coach from the technical area for a fixture his side is under pressure to win. It also adds a second front to a turbulent opening month in which Fulham have yet to win a league game. The outcome is unsettled, so any effect on Arbeloa's matchday presence at Portman Road remains open rather than established. The charge concerns conduct around a previous match, not the playing squad available here.
- Álvaro Arbeloa has been charged with misconduct after accusing a referee of bias following Fulham's 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
- The case followed Fulham's home match against Manchester United on 20 September; no sanction has been set out.

Tete is a senior defender in Fulham's squad, and a concussion doubt puts his availability for Portman Road in question on short notice. Concussion cases are managed individually, so a listing days before the game does not settle whether he plays or who fills in. With Fulham also assessing a midfield knee problem, the visitors could be reshuffling two areas against an Ipswich side that has scored in bursts. The doubt itself is the material fact; the outcome remains open.
- Kenny Tete is listed as doubtful with a concussion ahead of Fulham's 10 October match at Ipswich Town.
- K. Tete started 0 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.
