Former Ipswich Town and England defender Mick Mills says there is no pressure on the side to win their next match against Everton but three points would “help tremendously”.

Mills told BBC Radio Suffolk’s Final Whistle: “At the moment it’s taking us three games to get three points from three draws but if you can get three in one swoop, that will make a lot of difference.

“We must not go chasing for it, I don’t think that is the right thing. It will come.

“I think what we’ve got to do is not underestimate Everton. Everton are getting stick for conceding late goals and losing games late on but nobody is giving them praise for playing well and getting themselves in front.”

While the Tractor Boys are yet to win in the Premier League, they have lost only once at Portman Road and Mills believes the atmosphere during their home games could prove vital as the season progresses.

“I will go back to what I’ve said before – when we get a home fixture, the atmosphere is so good at present that it’s a massive advantage and it will make the game easier without question,” he added.

“Most of our away games this season will be difficult and will take a massive effort but I think every time we play a home fixture, we have got a really good chance of winning the game.”
