Newly-promoted Ipswich get their Premier League campaign underway with the visit of Liverpool to Portman Road on Saturday. Fixtures don’t come much more difficult for a side that have made a rapid rise from League One to the top flight in the last two years.

But Kieran McKenna’s team could give Liverpool, under new manager Arne Slot, a difficult test to begin the season. Expectations are high as ever for the Reds, who have yet to make any signings in the summer transfer window after Jurgen Klopp’s departure.

Whatever the outcome, it promises to be a fascinating clash between two teams likely to play attacking football this season. And the hope will be that there are no controversial refereeing decisions that have a big impact on the final result.

Who is the referee for Ipswich vs Liverpool?

Tim Robinson will referee the clash at Portman Road. He is still relatively new to the Premier League, having only been promoted to Select Group 1 for the 2023-24 season.

Robinson refereed his first Premier League game in 2019 and has since officiated four Liverpool matches.

He will be assisted for the Ipswich vs Liverpool match by Timothy Wood and Steve Meredith.
