Relegated Ipswich Town head to Goodison Park for Everton's penultimate home match at their historic stadium, with both struggling sides desperate to find the back of the net despite their position near the bottom of the Premier League scoring charts.
The Tractor Boys, officially sent down after their 3-0 defeat to Newcastle, will aim to restore pride behind 12-goal striker Liam Delap against an Everton side that has drawn five of their last nine matches.
David Moyes' Toffees, though solid defensively, have mustered just three goals in their last six outings and will need to improve their attacking output to give their faithful supporters something to celebrate in one of their final matches at Goodison.

Everton vs. Ipswich preview
Everton welcome already-relegated Ipswich Town to Goodison Park in what will be their penultimate home match at the historic ground before their summer move.
The Toffees have struggled for consistency lately, winning just once in their last nine Premier League outings while drawing five – including a frustrating 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in their most recent fixture.
For Ipswich, pride is all that remains after their brave promotion campaign officially ended with a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle, though Kieran McKenna's men will feel they can trouble an Everton side that has been far from clinical in attack.
Both teams rank among the league's lowest scorers, though Ipswich striker Liam Delap remains a bright spot with 12 goals this season and has found the net in two of his last three starts.
David Moyes faces significant selection headaches with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, James Tarkowski and Jesper Lindstrøm all sidelined through injury, while Ipswich are without six key players including Kalvin Phillips and the dangerous Sammie Szmodics.
The history between these sides is tightly contested, with Ipswich actually holding a slight edge in their head-to-head record, though Everton claimed a comfortable 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture back in October.
