Villa Park - Birmingham
The last three Premier League meetings between Aston Villa and Ipswich Town have all finished level after the Villans had won each of the previous five, with this being the first top-flight draw between the sides at Villa Park since December 1982 (also 1-1).
Aston Villa are now unbeaten across their last 12 Premier League home games (W6 D6) since losing their first home game of the season 0-2 to Arsenal, who are the only side on a longer ongoing unbeaten home run in the competition (15).
Aston Villa have now gained 14 points from losing positions in the Premier League this season, the fourth-most of any side, while Ipswich Town have dropped 19 points from winning positions, with only Southampton (20) and Tottenham Hotspur (21) having dropped more.
Aston Villa have lost just one of their last 14 top-flight meetings with Ipswich (W10 D3), a 1-0 home defeat in March 1994.
Ipswich have lost 10 of their last 12 away league games against Aston Villa, with both exceptions being 1-0 victories (March 1994 in the Premier League, February 2017 in the Championship).
Aston Villa have lost just one of their last 20 Premier League games against opposition in the relegation zone (W13 D6), though that sole defeat did come last time out on MD24 against Wolves (0-2).
Ipswich Town have lost each of their last four Premier League games – their longest losing run of the season. They last lost more consecutive league matches between October and December 2011 under Paul Jewell (7 in the Championship).
Since the start of last season, only Everton and Brentford have won a larger share of their total Premier League points at home than Aston Villa (60% - 63/105) among current sides in the division. The Villans are unbeaten in their last 11 league games at Villa Park (W6 D5) since losing 2-0 against Arsenal in their opening home game of the season.
