Everton are set to host Ipswich Town on Saturday in yet another Hill Dickinson Stadium outing.

David Moyes and Co. played host to Wolves in midweek and secured a 1-0 Carabao Cup win.

A late strike from Charly Alcaraz made sure that the unbeaten start to the campaign continued.

The attention is now on the Premier League after three consecutive draws against Tottenham, Manchester United and Bournemouth.

A meeting with the newly promoted side is next up as Gary O'Neil's side travel to Merseyside.

Everton will be keen to secure all three points as we now assess how a supercomputer predicts the meeting with Ipswich.

What is predicted to happen in Everton vs Ipswich Town?

The Tractor Boys have certainly made a positive start to life back in the Premier League.

Defeats against Manchester United and Liverpool weren't totally unexpected, but picking up early points was always going to be important.

The same can be said about the Blues given that they are yet to lose a game in any competition this season.

The Toffees kept that up on Wednesday against Wolves, while Ipswich fell to a 4-2 defeat at home to Arsenal.

The Opta Analyst supercomputer suggests that both sides are set to face a similar fate on Saturday.

Moyes' men are given a 54.6 per cent chance of securing victory in L3, while the away side come in at just 22.2 per cent.

A draw is given a better probability compared to the Suffolk outfit with a 23.2 per cent probability.

That could give the L3 outfit a chance to do something they've only done three times since their move to Bramley-Moore Dock.

How Everton could secure rare Hill Dickinson Stadium achievement

There has been a mixed record since the Toffees made the move away from Goodison Park.

Consistent runs of form have become hard to come by as Everton are yet to win more than two games in a row at their new home.

Should they match the supercomputer prediction and win, this would represent just the third time they have managed that feat.

The first came in the opening days of the ground's opening with wins over Brighton and Mansfield.

A second never materialised until March with wins over Burnley and Chelsea on Merseyside.

The latest version could come six months later should the Toffees follow up the win against Wolves with another against Ipswich.
