Manchester City vs Ipswich Town Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Premier League 2024-25
The fixture marks the Citizen’s first home game of the new season.
Manchester City have started the new season impressively after registering two wins from the opening two matches. The Citizens grabbed their first silverware of the season after defeating rivals Manchester United in the FA Community Shield to claim the trophy.
Next up for them was an away clash against Chelsea in the season’s opening match, which they ultimately won by a 2-0 score-line despite missing several key players. Now, Pep Guardiola’s side are set to play their first home game of the season. They boast an incredible record at the Etihad after going unbeaten in their last 45 games at home.
Ipswich Town suffered a 2-0 defeat in their first match back in the Premier League after 22 years. The Tractor Boys have developed a good reputation under Kieran McKenna who has guided the team to back-to-back promotion. First from League One to Championship and then Championship to the top tier of English football.
Kieran McKenna will be proud of the way his team contested against a top side in their first match. They were the better team during the first half after coming close on multiple occasions to open the scoring but a poor second-half performance saw them concede the defeat. Also, the fixtures haven’t helped either as they are set to lock horns against the reigning champions.

Players to Watch
Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
New season but the same old story for Erling Haaland after scoring another goal against one of the top six sides in the Premier League. After being found out by Bernardo Silva in the box, he managed to dodge a couple of challenges before scoring a delightful chip over the goalkeeper. Having already won the last two seasons’ Golden Boot, Haaland will be aiming to win the award for the third time this campaign. Last season, he recorded 38 goals in all competitions and added another six assists to his tally.
Omari Hutchinson (Ipswich Town)
Omari Hutchinson remains the danger man for Ipswich Town against the champions after putting in an impressive performance against the Reds on the opening weekend. Hutchinson was a constant threat during the match displaying some wonderful touches while also linking up the play excellently. He attempted three shots against them and needed an impressive save from Alisson to deny him from opening his account for the new season. Hutchinson will be aiming to repeat last season’s success after registering 11 goals and five assists to his tally.
