Chelsea will look to continue their impressive home form when they face Ipswich in the Premier League this afternoon.

Though, Enzo Maresca's side are targeting Champions League qualification and can perhaps lean on their home form to get them over the line having won their five league games at Stamford Bridge in a row, keeping three consecutive clean sheets in the process.

Ipswich, meanwhile, are losing their battle of avoiding relegation as they start the weekend 12 points from safety with seven games remaining and with a vastly inferior goal difference to Wolves.

Despite the importance of this fixture, supporters in the UK will not be able to watch the game on TV.
