Ipswich Town date set

West Ham United will take on Ipswich Town in a pre-season friendly at Portman Road on Saturday 31 July.

The Hammers will make the trip up the A12 to Suffolk for what promises to be an entertaining game against Roy Keane's side, who ended last season 15th in the Championship.

West Ham last visited Ipswich for a pre-season fixture on 4 August 2008, when Dean Ashton scored a hat-trick in a 5-3 victory for the visitors. Craig Bellamy and Mark Noble (pictured) were also on target.
