Crystal Palace's 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest on Monday meant that for the first time in the English top-flight's 126-year history, four clubs have failed to win any of their first eight matches of a league season. Palace, Ipswich, Southampton and Wolves are all yet to be victorious in the Premier League this campaign.

Everton beat Ipswich 2-0 at Portman Road to secure their first away victory of the Premier League season and leave the Tractor Boys still looking for a maiden win since sealing promotion.

Winless Ipswich host fellow strugglers Everton today, hoping to claim a victory that would see them leapfrog their opponents who find themselves in 16th position in the EPL.   The Tractor Boys will be out to make amends after they suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat away at West Ham last time out in a match which saw Kieran McKenna's side commit a succession of defensive errors.
