Ipswich Town vs Chelsea History

Chelsea FC was founded in 1905, some 27 years after the formation of Ipswich Town FC. Neither of these teams enjoyed any trophy success in the first half of the 20th century, and only in 1955 did Chelsea finally become champions of the First Division. Ipswich matched this feat in 1962, clinching league honours in what was the club’s first-ever season competing in the English top flight.

Ipswich Town would go on to add an FA Cup title to their collection in 1978, beating Arsenal 1-0 at Wembley Stadium. This came eight years after Chelsea had also claimed a maiden FA Cup triumph. ITFC also celebrated success in the UEFA Cup (precursor to the Europa League) in 1981, thanks to a narrow victory over Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar.

Chelsea would add only a few more pieces of silverware before the 2003 takeover by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. This new era was defined by plenty of success with no fewer than five Premier League, five FA Cup and a number of European titles during the 19-year reign of Abramovich.

The post-Abramovich era has been a turbulent period for Chelsea FC. The consortium led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital has yet to find a winning formula to return the Blues to their former glory. Meanwhile, Ipswich Town sealed back-to-back promotions to rise from League One up into the Premier League in the space of two seasons.

Ipswich Town vs Chelsea Head-to-Head

The first meeting(s) between these clubs took place during the 1961/62 campaign, which happened to be the first season featuring Ipswich Town in the English top flight. ITFC beat Chelsea, 5-2, at Portman Road before the teams played out a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge. Despite dropping points towards the end of the league campaign, Ipswich managed to hold on and secure the First Division title by 3 points.

Ipswich and Chelsea contested an FA Cup tie for the first time in 1968, with the latter emerging 3-0 victors at Stamford Bridge. The two sides met in the same competition five years later and a similar result ensued as Chelsea picked up a 2-0 win.

Both of these clubs were founding members of the Premier League in 1992, and they settled for a 1-1 stalemate in this fixture during the inaugural season of the competition. Ipswich succumbed to relegation from the Premier League at the end of the 2001/02 campaign and subsequently wouldn’t meet Chelsea in a league fixture for 22 years.

The teams did, however, share a pitch in the FA Cup, a Fourth Round tie in January 2009. Michael Ballack and Frank Lampard were on the scoresheet in this 3-1 Chelsea win. Two years later they reconvened in the FA Cup Third Round, as CFC recorded a resounding 7-0 thrashing of the Championship side. Lampard and Daniel Sturridge struck twice apiece while Salomon Kalou and Nicolas Anelka also found the back of the net at Stamford Bridge.
