Southampton's fight is not about whether they can stay up, it is whether they can avoid being the worst Premier League team of all time and beat Derby County's total of 11 points from 2007-08.
Ipswich are still battling to avoid relegation, but I am worried about them in this game.
I am not sure whether to go with my heart or my head - well, when I say my heart I am actually thinking of my daughter's teacher, Mr Fields, who is an Ipswich fan.
If they lose this, it would be very damaging for their hopes of surviving. I'd go so far as saying I'd be buying a white flag of surrender for Mr Fields to wave whenever he sees me when I drop my daughter off at school.
These two sides drew 1-1 earlier in the season, when a 95th-minute Sam Morsy goal denied Saints the win.
I don't think Ipswich will keep a clean sheet this time, either, but I am backing Liam Delap to come good, and help them pick up what would be a huge three points.
Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Southampton (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
McKenna confirmed that Wes Burns will "miss the rest of the season" after picking up an ACL injury against Liverpool last time out, stating: "He will go for surgery next week. Of course we know that's a significant period of time out. He's seeing the very best people. It's not a very complicated tear, I believe. You can never call an ACL straight forward, but it's an orthodox procedure and everyone is really positive about the prognosis."
The injury is "a blow" for the side, but the Ipswich boss added: "We're not going to have any late panic in the transfer window. If there was a player who can look to improve us then we will do so, but we are not going to add numbers just for the sake of cover."
McKenna said he has "never labelled a game" as must-win, adding: "You understand it because terminology around must-win is different, but that implies it is something that the game isn't. Of course we are playing another team down towards the bottom of the division and we want to and need to pick up points along the way. We are coming off the back of a couple of difficult games and this is a home game and and opportunity for us to go and try and win."
He added: "The opposition will see it as one of their better opportunities too and whichever way it goes, there is still going to be a lot of games and will be really tight at the bottom. It won't be set one way or the other."
McKenna said it is "natural" there is more "expectation" on this game, but that fans "understand" the situation. He added: "The teams who were first, second and fourth in the Championship last year are now 20th, 19th and 17th in the Premier League. Whether at top or bottom, it is about taking care of details, focusing on performance and giving everything to go for the result. I think fans will understand and be right behind us."
On if he feels they have done enough business this transfer window: "I don't think you ever feel like you have done enough. We have tried to improve the squad. The three players brought in, I feel like they have improved the squad. Jaden [Philogene] can have a long-term impact. The other two have more experience and can help the squad now. We want the squad to be as strong as possible. In an ideal world there could have been one or two more but it is a difficult window."
On temptation to play Julio Enciso from the start: "Julio is ready to go in terms of minutes played this season. He trained really well. He has been really positive around the training ground this week and everyone is really enjoying him being here, so he is ready to make and impact tomorrow with whatever minutes he gets."

A product of the Ipswich academy, the centre-back has played 10 times this season and made more than 200 appearances for the club.
"I'm proud of what I have achieved at the club and I'm so pleased to have signed a new deal," he told TownTV. "The last two years have been amazing.
"I'm just loving every minute."
Image source, Getty ImagesIpswich Town and Southampton have both conceded 14 Premier League goals in 2025, the joint most of any side. The Saints have also faced the most shots on target (34) and have conceded the most expected goals (12.9).
Only Southampton (four) have picked up fewer home Premier League points than Ipswich (seven) this season, with the Tractor Boys picking up just one win.
Ipswich have also only scored eight goals at Portman Road, accumulating the lowest xG on home soil of any side this season (10.9).

Image source, Getty ImagesThe run-in starts here. There are 15 games to go - 15 games for Ipswich to secure their Premier League status for another season.
Next weekend's game against Southampton is the club's biggest of the season to date. Many will look at the table and believe a win is a foregone conclusion, but that is not how the Premier League works.
Last April produced one of the most dramatic and memorable matches at Portman Road for decades as Ipswich ran out 3-2 winners over the Saints with a 97th-minute winner from Jeremy Sarmiento - a young South American loanee from Brighton.
This year's young South American loanee from Brighton gave a moment of optimism on a difficult afternoon at Anfield as Julio Enciso curled an inswinging corner onto the head of Jacob Greaves for a 90th-minute consolation.
Back-to-back games against Manchester City and Liverpool have knocked confidence but the players must brush off these two heavy defeats and focus on the task in hand. Southampton will not be easy, no games at this level are.
To be only one point from safety after facing City and Liverpool is a positive, but with Everton picking up successive wins under David Moyes, Town now find themselves in a four-team mini-league. Leicester's victory at Tottenham was unhelpful, but there will be plenty more twists and turns.
An average of 34 points has been enough for survival across the past 10 seasons. Ipswich will need to find 18 from the remaining games to secure this total. This will mean a points-per-game improvement from 0.69 to 1.2.
And this is why next Saturday looks so critical - a chance to reset, get three points on the board and find some confidence with a victory.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Liverpool and Ipswich.
Here are some of your comments:
Liverpool fans
Yusuf: A routine performance from Liverpool. Knew what they had to do and they executed it well. Great to see Dom back to his best and Salah and Gakpo keep on scoring. Defensively, we have been good in the last few games, but a clean sheet would be convenient to boost the backline. Now we can focus on securing top spot in the Champions League on Wednesday, before a difficult trip away to an in-form Bournemouth.
Fraser: Great all round performance. Gakpo once again on fire and a massive improvement from last season. He's crucial to our attack and goals. Salah and Szoboszlai also really good and their goals were absolute crackers. Shame about conceding a clean sheet though but overall, job well done. We go onto the next game.
Ken: Another professional job done but conceding a goal at the end felt deflating. The lack of clean sheets is so frustrating. Trent was brilliant with solid performances from the others. Despite the positives, I despair at the standard of refereeing. Enciso almost dropkicked Endo in the face but only got a yellow. Dangerous and reckless play in my book.
Paul: Brilliant, just brilliant from Liverpool. Measured, controlled aggression. Pressing when right to do so and able to bring quality subs off the bench to finish the game off.
Ipswich fans
Matt: Nowhere near as bad as last week. Let's put these two games behind us and concentrate on finishing above Wolves. Encisco looks the business. He needs to start every game. We must beat Southampton next week!
Terry: Tame at best. Liverpool showed their gulf in class. However, these games will not be the ones that define Town's season. It is difficult to integrate new players at this time of the season. Some good play at times to keep me optimistic that we can survive.
Simon: With Everton getting a result against Brighton, February could be a crucial month. If Wolves sell Cunha it may well turn into a dogfight between Ipswich and Wolves for survival given the games each team plays. I feel if Town can stay up then they will go on to improve next season.
William: It was a disgrace. No effort to attack and happy to keep score down. At least have a go.

Listen back to full match commentaries on BBC Sounds:
Image source, Getty ImagesIpswich boss Kieran McKenna, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Another tough game for us. Positivity with how we ended it but of course disappointed to be behind in the game.
"I didn't think in the first half we were under a huge amount of pressure but Liverpool were clinical and we didn't defend our box well enough. Before you know it you're 3-0 down in the game from not many shots on target and then the second half is difficult.
"Second half I thought we did all we could do. We knew we couldn't open up, we defended on shape, we had some really good play with the ball, scored a goal and could have even scored another one.
"It has been a tough two-game block and it's come at a tricky stage of the season for us, but if we take the lessons in the right way we will be stronger for it and it'll help us in the games coming up."

Image source, Getty ImagesA 500-mile round trip is a long way for anyone to go, let alone for a game that, as a fan, deep down you know there's little chance of getting something from it.
But despite seeing their side lose 4-1 at Liverpool, there was some encouragement those supporters could take from it.
They finished the game strongly and ensured those travelling supporters had something to celebrate thanks to Jacob Greaves' stoppage time goal.
It was always going to be difficult for Ipswich to get something from their last two games - a home fixture against Manchester City and then this trip to Liverpool - but their focus now turns to a more important battle next week, when they host bottom-of-the-table Southampton.
Ipswich have shown fight this season and remain very much in the battle for survival, and the game against the Saints will likely go a long way to determining which league they are playing in next season.

Ipswich got absolutely smashed by Manchester City last time out and I have told my daughter's Ipswich-supporting teacher, Mr Fields, that if he is considering travelling up to Anfield for this game, then he really shouldn't bother.
Another of Sophia's teachers, Mr Worral, is upset that Mr Fields got a mention and he didn't - so I am putting that right here.
Mr Worral is actually a Liverpool fan, and he is going to have a much more enjoyable weekend.
It's a long way for Ipswich fans to travel to watch their team get spanked, then go all the way back to East Anglia.
This should be pretty routine for Liverpool and they will get a few goals, but because they are fighting on so many fronts I don't think they will absolutely wallop them.
Sutton's prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Ipswich
Image source, Getty ImagesIpswich have won two of their past three away league games against Liverpool, having failed to win any of their first 27 visits to Anfield beforehand (D8 L19). Their last visit ended in a 5-0 defeat on the final day of the 2001-02 season, however.
Liverpool have won their past 10 Premier League home games against promoted sides by an aggregate score of 34-7 since a 1-0 loss to Fulham in March 2021.
This Premier League pursuit becomes a lot easier if you take your chances.
BBC Sport has checked in on some data comparing goals versus expected goals this season.
You can see from the bar graph some teams aren't finding the goals (yellow) to outstrip the expected goals they should score (black).
Tottenham, Manchester City, Arsenal, Brentford, Newcastle, Brighton, Fulham, Nottingham Forest, Wolves and Leicester have all scored more than expected.
Wolves in particular have found the net 32 times from an expected 23.56 - a significant overperformance.
League leaders Liverpool are pretty much bang on in returning what they should, while Arsenal have outperformed, with 43 goals from an expected 37.78.
Bournemouth - 36 goals from an expected 43 - are leaving opportunities on the table.
Every so often, a player is described by a pundit as someone who "loves to defend".
Most fans would naturally welcome such a sort in their team, that player who stands tall, lets stuff bounce off him and somehow masters the ability to become a magnet to the ball when it enters the penalty area.
BBC Sport took a look at three metrics this season - headed clearances, blocks and tackles - to see which players seem to relish this kind of thing.
Everton's James Tarkowski leads the way, amassing a total of 131 across the three areas, with Brentford's Nathan Collins second. The two men have made 73 headed clearances each, a stat that proves their value when it comes to defending dead balls.
Murillo - fresh from his contract extension at Nottingham Forest - was highlighted in recent weeks for a no-nonsense display against Liverpool, when he frequently launched clearances into the night. He makes the top three across these metrics and while Brazilian players are so often lauded for their flair, he can proudly carry the 'loves-to-defend' tag.
