**Everton return to Premier League action against Ipswich Town at the Hill Dickinson on Saturday, looking to extend their unbeaten start to the season after last weekend’s goalless draw at Tottenham.**
David Moyes’ side also booked their place in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Wolves, while Ipswich arrive having beaten Crystal Palace 3-2 in their last league game.
Here are seven numbers worth knowing before [Everton](https://readeverton.com/) and Ipswich meet.
The Blues have six points from their opening four matches, beating Crystal Palace 2-0 before drawing with Bournemouth, Manchester United and Tottenham.
Add the Carabao Cup and Everton are actually unbeaten in all six competitive games this season.
There has been plenty to like defensively. Everton have conceded only three goals in six games in all competitions, with clean sheets against Crystal Palace, Preston, Tottenham and Wolves.
The last two have come back-to-back, so another shutout on Saturday would make it three in succession.
Kieran McKenna’s side have been considerably easier to get at. Ipswich have conceded nine times in four league games, including five at Manchester United and three in last weekend’s win at Crystal Palace.
They have also scored seven themselves, so their opening month has rarely been dull.
This is perhaps the best indication of what Everton could be facing.
Ipswich’s last five results in all competitions read 3-1, 2-5, 0-2, 3-2 and 2-4. That’s 25 goals at an average of exactly five per game.
Beto and Dwight McNeil appeared to have Everton in control at Goodison Park in May 2025 before Julio Enciso pulled one back and George Hirst completed Ipswich’s comeback in the second half.
The 2-2 draw was Everton’s final home meeting with Ipswich at Goodison.
Here’s a slightly quirky one.
Everton’s last home league victory over Ipswich was a 4-1 win on New Year’s Eve 1994. There is an obvious caveat – the clubs have spent much of the intervening period in different divisions – but Ipswich subsequently drew 0-0 at Goodison in 2001, won there 2-1 in 2002 and drew 2-2 in 2025.
The clubs have met plenty of times over the years, but Saturday brings something new.
Ipswich will become the latest visiting side to play a competitive game at Everton’s new home, where Moyes’ side have already beaten Crystal Palace and Wolves this season.
A second home Premier League victory would also send Everton into the international break still unbeaten.
