Match facts
Head-to-head
Ipswich's only win in their last 17 top-flight games against West Ham was by 1-0 at Upton Park in March 2001 courtesy of a Martijn Reuser free-kick (D6, L10).
The Blues' most recent top-flight home win versus the Hammers came in April 1982, when Russell Osman, John Wark and Alan Brazil scored in a 3-2 victory at Portman Road.

The Blues' tally of 22 points means they are already assured of ending the season with the lowest total in their league history (readjusted to three points for a win), eclipsing their figure of 27 points in 1994-95.
Defeat could see Ipswich equal Sunderland's record for fewest points won at home in a Premier League season (seven in 2005-06). However, Southampton – who have six points at St Mary's this term – will break the record if they lose to Arsenal on Sunday.
Town's only home league win this season was a 2-0 victory against Chelsea on 30 December.

The Hammers have lost their last league match in each of the past three seasons. The only time they have done so in four consecutive campaigns was 92 years ago.
