Prediction
It has been a tough start to life at Craven Cottage for Fulham boss Arbeloa, who is yet to win a game in the league since taking charge in the summer and already finds himself under pressure.
There have been some positive performances along the way, notably the draws against Liverpool (0-0) and Manchester United (1-1), but defeats to Chelsea, Sunderland and Crystal Palace have overshadowed those points.
A trip to Portman Road will be no easy task and more away disappointment could be heading the way of Fulham, who last won on their travels in the league at the Stadium of Light back in February.
Ipswich defeated the Black Cats at home in their season opener before seeing off Leicester in the Carabao Cup in their next Portman Road fixture, and while losses to Liverpool and Arsenal have come in Suffolk since, there is enough to suggest their home form is stronger than the away displays of Fulham.
Summer arrival Zian Flemming has made four appearances for Ipswich, three of those from the bench, but he has already made his presence felt with one goal and a yellow.
The 28-year-old forward will be keen to impress, whether that comes from the start or as a substitute, and he looks capable of adding to either or both his goals and cards tally.
Round off this bet builder by backing Ipswich forward Julio Enciso to have at least a shot on target, something he has achieved in three of his last four matches.
Score prediction: Ipswich 2-1 Fulham
