'That’s not acceptable': Tosin Adarabioyo shares one thing he’s so angry about ahead of Chelsea vs Ipswich
Tosin Adarabioyo has been speaking ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League tie against Ipswich Town.
Chelsea and Adarabioyo will be looking for revenge after losing the reverse fixture 2-0 back in December.
Liam Delap scored for Ipswich that night, but the striker could be playing for Enzo Maresca‘s side next season.
It is being reported that Chelsea are hoping to sign Delap before the Club World Cup begins, though the Blues could face stiff competition for his signature when the transfer window opens.

Tosin Adarabioyo furious with Ipswich defeat
While it was a while ago, Ipswich’s victory over Chelsea at Portman Road is still fresh in Adarabioyo’s mind.
The central defender recently spoke about it, deeming it as unacceptable ahead of round two this Sunday.
Speaking to Chelsea’s official website, Adarabioyo said: “We are fully focused on the upcoming game, but in the back of your head, you always want to fight that little bit extra because they beat us, and for us that’s not acceptable. We want to go out there and get the three points.”
Adarabioyo played well against Brentford last weekend so will be hoping that he has done enough to retain his spot in the side.
With Wesley Fofana out injured, there is a good chance that the 27-year-old does. Fofana will miss the rest of the season in a blow to Maresca, but it does give the likes of Adarabioyo and Trevoh Chalobah a chance to prove themselves.
How Tosin Adarabioyo fared in Chelsea’s 2-0 loss to Ipswich
Adarabioyo will be looking to put in a much better performance this time around compared to his previous display against Ipswich.
Despite his height, the former Fulham man was dominated in the air and was absolutely bullied by Delap.
According to Sofascore, Adarabioyo only won one aerial duel in the entire game. He also failed to make a single tackle.

Adarabioyo and Levi Colwill — should they both start — will need to have much better games if Chelsea are to earn all three points. And following Manchester City’s 5-2 comeback win against Crystal Palace on Saturday, they really need those three points.

If Adarabioyo can stop Delap this time, then Chelsea should be able to do the above and give their chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League a huge boost.
