I did not have my usual source so I had to do my own research on this occasion, so here goes......
We will begin our preparations for the 2020-21 campaign with a friendly against League One side Ipswich Town at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday. We claimed sixth spot in the 2019-20 Premier League table despite finishing with a draw at Crystal Palace, while Ipswich, who have not been in competitive action since March, finished 11th in League one
We are due to start our new league season at home to Everton on September 12, while we will also face Southampton and Newcastle United in September before a trip to Manchester United at the start of October. We are facing a fixture pile-up early in the campaign as we will enter the second qualifying round of the Europa League on September 17, while the presence of the EFL Cup means that Mourinho will have to utilise our squad during an extremely busy period.
There is no question that we had our problems last term, but we only lost one of our final 10 league matches in 2019-20 and will be determined to make steps forward in the new season. Mourinho could hand debuts to new signings Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Joe Hart this weekend, while some of our club's youngsters are likely to be given opportunities to impress.
Ipswich, meanwhile, saw their 2019-20 League One season end at the start of March due to the coronavirus pandemic, which meant that the campaign was unable to resume. Paul Lambert's side therefore claimed 11th in the third tier of English football and had been in disappointing form before the season was called to a halt, losing each of their last four.
Ipswich have not been a Premier League side since 2001-02, while they dropped into League One after 17 straight seasons in the second tier. The Tractor Boys started their pre-season against Colchester United on Tuesday night, though, recording two victories over the U's - 4-0 and 1-0 - with both matches being 75 minutes long. James Norwood, Tomas Holy and Jon Nolan are amongst those still on the treatment table, but Lambert is expected to send a strong side onto the field for Saturday's clash in London.
We have played Ipswich 53 times in all competitions. We have won 23 and lost 22 against them, with 8 drawn.
Of the 23 wins, 19 have been in the old 1st division, 3 in the Premier League and 1 FA Cup tie - 30th January 1965 - (5-0)
Of the 22 losses, 18 has been in the old 1st division, 3 in the Premier League and 1 FA Cup tie - 29th January 1994 - (0-3)
Of the 8 drawn games, 5 were in the old 1st division, 3 in the Premier League.
