Comments, predictions Ipswich Town vs Man City: Easy win

Two days after tying down striker Erling Haaland to an unprecedented new contract, Manchester City travel to Ipswich Town determined to make amends for their Premier League woes. The defending champions blew a 2-0 lead when Brentford held them to a dramatic 2-2 draw in midweek. Meanwhile, the Tractor Boys were unable to replicate Brentford's comeback, losing at home to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Latest Ipswich Town vs Man City team information

As expected, Kyle Walker was not registered to play against Brentford after expressing his desire to leave.

The England right-back is yet to find a new home abroad, and he is unlikely to feature against Ipswich at Portman Road. Rodri, Oscar Bobb and Ruben Dias are also ruled out through injury. John Stones is also close to recovery from injury, but Guardiola is unlikely to risk him. As in the FA Cup win over Salford City, Guardiola surprised everyone by starting Matheus Nunes at right-back, replacing Walker. But he may have to rotate his squad ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

The arrivals of Omar Marmoush and Abdukodir Khusanov could ease the burden on the starters, but neither will be available in time for the weekend. For Ipswich, Kalvin Phillips will miss out against his parent club, and McKenna could return Sam Morsy in midfield alongside Jens Cajuste. Phillips joins Conor Chaplin, Chiedozie Ogbene, Axel Tuanzebe and Sammie Szmodics on the absentee list, but Omari Hutchinson made a surprise return from injury in midweek. Ipswich have also added new signing Jaden Philogene from Aston Villa, and he could make his debut on Saturday.

Ipswich Town vs Man City latest expected lineup

Ipswich Town:

Walton; Woolfenden, Godfrey, Greaves; O'Shea, Cajuste, Morsy, Davis; Hutchinson, Delap, Philogene

Manchester City:

Ortega; Lewis, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Gundogan; Foden, De Bruyne, Doku; Haaland

Latest football commentary Ipswich Town vs Man City

Manchester City, with three straight wins ahead of them travelling to FA Cup-bound Brentford, were brimming with confidence. However, what happened at the Gtech Community Stadium was a major surprise. Despite taking a 2-0 lead thanks to a Phil Foden brace, City were held to a draw by Brentford, courtesy of goals from Yoane Wissa and Christian Norgaard. While it was no match for Feyenoord’s collapse, the result saw City miss out on the chance to move level on points with Chelsea and close in on the top four.

Still, the five-game unbeaten run marks an improvement on a poor run before, and City fans will have been delighted by the news that Erling Haaland has signed a new nine-and-a-half-year contract. Having committed himself to the reigning champions until he is nearly 34, Haaland is aiming to replicate his hat-trick from the first leg against Ipswich, becoming only the second player in Premier League history to score a hat-trick both home and away against the same opponent, after Emmanuel Adebayor.

Meanwhile, another former City player, Liam Delap, now at Ipswich, was intent on spoiling Haaland's contract renewal party. But he watched helplessly as his side lost to Brighton in midweek. Brighton, like City, only scored in the second half, with Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter scoring twice, but Ipswich could not come back. The defeat was a blow to McKenna's side, who had gone three games unbeaten, including a memorable win over Chelsea. The defeat sent Ipswich into the relegation zone, behind the other teams on goal difference.

History has not been kind to Ipswich against the reigning champions, with just one draw and five defeats in their last six meetings with the reigning champions, since their impressive win over Manchester United in 1994-95. The last time City won both legs of their last two meetings with Ipswich was that season. Ipswich have also won four home games against City, but the last in that run came in 2001.
