Ipswich Town are back in the big time after a 23-year absence but they have a daunting Premier League opener today as Liverpool come to Portman Road.
Back-to-back promotions have seen Kieran McKenna's side rocket from League One to the top flight and it will be fascinating to see how they cope with the big step up.
A lot of people are saying this might be a good time to play Liverpool with the Anfield giants a club in transition after Jurgen Klopp's departure as manager.
But new gaffer Arne Slot has inherited a settled side that challenged for the title last term and performances have been pretty impressive from the Reds in pre-season.
If Liverpool can silence a raucous home crowd by scoring early then it could be a rude Premier League awakening for McKenna and his players.

Ipswich Town v Liverpool top betting tips
The bookies can't see past a Liverpool win, with Slot's slide 1/3 hot favourites at Betfred and the Tractor Boys as big as 8/1.
Defensive frailties ultimately cost the Reds the title last term and Slot has yet to reinforce his backline. That makes me think a Liverpool win with BTTS might be worth a punt here at 7/5.
Mo Salah remains at Anfield despite talk of a move to Saudi Arabia and he's just 9/10 for anytime scorer. The odds are a bit better at evens if you back him for two or more shots on target.
Ipswich should get stuck in as they try to knock the Reds out of their stride and midfielder Sam Morsy appeals for a card at 9/5.
Arsenal v Wolverhampton Wanderers top tips
Arsenal took the title race to the final day last term and fans now believe Mikel Arteta's men are ready to topple Manchester City and claim the crown for the first time in over two decades.
The Gunners were so strong at home last term so it's no surprise to see them as 2/11 hot favourites for a win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on day one in the Premier League.
Gary O'Neil's men comfortably finished in mid-table last term after being tipped for a battle against the drop. Their form tailed off after safety was secured though and Wolves claimed just one win in their last 11 games.
It's hard to see them springing a shock at the Emirates and I fancy Bukayo Saka to get off the mark for Arsenal at 5/4.
Five yellows were flashed when these teams last faced off and Mario Lemina looks decent value for a card here at 12/5.
For a long-odds option, Gunners stopper Gabriel is 11/1 to score with a header at Bet365 as his side continue to look a big threat from set-pieces.
Newcastle v Southampton top tips
One of the best games for a neutral to watch today could come at St James' Park as promoted Southampton kick of the Premier League campaign against Newcastle.
Saints boss Russell Martin insists he won't change his style in the top flight and passing out from the back could be dangerous against a Magpies team who will press with plenty of energy.
Over 2.5 Newcastle goals stands a chance at evens while over 3.5 match strikes pays the same price as Betfred.
There's higher odds in backing players for goals and winger Anthony Gordon is 11/8 for anytime scorer.
Rangers v St Johnstone top tips
A dark cloud is hanging over Rangers after their Champions League exit in midweek and fans are reportedly set to stage protests at today's League Cup last-16 clash with St Johnstone.
Saints head to Hampden buoyed by a brilliant 3-0 win at Kilmarnock last week but Betfred still make them 8/1 outsiders to reach the quarter-finals, with Gers at 1/20.
Craig Levein will probably set up to frustrate, knowing the crowd will get even more angry if Rangers fail to score early. That makes a Gers win with under 3.5 goals worth a punt and it pays 5/4.
Saints midfielder Cammy Macpherson has picked up two yellows already this term and looks a decent price at 100/30 for another card.

A couple of nice prices from the Norn Iron Premiership, 3pm.
Cliftonville to beat Glenavon, evens. Glenavon are a bit of a basket case at the moment, the fanbase nervous about the season ahead and a possible relegation struggle. Cliftonville should win comfortably.
Portadown double chance @ 7/5, general.
Portadown newly promoted from the Championship gave a good account of themselves in a 1-0 loss away to Cliftonville last week.
Glentoran are a full time outfit but at this early stage of the season the difference between full time and part time doesn’t justify Glentoran’s ridiculously short price.
Portadown will be fired up for their first home match of the season.
I’ll be at the game today and wouldn’t put anyone off taking a chance on a portadown win. We let 13 first team players go in the summer, replacing with 4 signings and a bunch of youngsters promoted to the first team. Those signings didn’t impress anyone in our opening game last week which we lost 1 nil at home against an average crusaders team. A shockingly poor performance and a comedy sketch at the back for their goal. 15/4 on the ports isn’t to be sniffed at!
No joy with teams to hit the woodwork last night LOSERS
