Saturday’s stacked schedule in the Premier League kicks off at the Etihad with Manchester City playing host to Ipswich Town. The Citizens scored 10 goals in their last two top-flight matches against this opponent, and we’re expecting another commanding victory for the home side here, as discussed in our prediction below!
Enzo Maresca’s perfect start to life in Manchester came to an end after running into the reigning kings of Europe, PSG, in the Champions League in midweek. However, the Sky Blues have been flawless in the EPL across the first six gameweeks, and they enter MD7 as the shortest-priced favourite of any team in action this weekend.
With nine points taken from their first six matches, Gary O’Neil will be fairly pleased with the start his side have made on their return to the top flight. This is easily their toughest test of the season, but if the Tractor Boys take something from this match, their fans may just dare to dream about more than mere survival this term. Let’s get into the key stats!

Manchester City - Ipswich Town: Form Analysis
Despite uncertainty about their future, Manchester City have made a storming start to the EPL season, winning all six of their matches and now holding a three-point advantage over second-placed Arsenal.
Prior to their defeat against PSG, the Citizens secured a 3-0 victory over 10-man Liverpool last weekend, taking their goal tally in the top flight to 16, while conceding a joint-league-best five goals.
City are averaging three goals per home game across all competitions this season and beat their upcoming opponents 4-1 in their last top-flight encounter at the Etihad back in August 2024.
Man City have only lost two home league fixtures since the start of last season!
Meanwhile, Ipswich pulled off a stunning comeback, scoring in the 88th and 91st minutes to beat Fulham 2-1 last weekend. That result took them to 10th place in the league standings after six games.
Notably, the three wins the Tractor Boys have this season are just one fewer than they managed during their previous stint in the top flight. It also took them 12 matches to reach nine points in that campaign.
However, the visitors have lost two of their three away league games (W1) and have conceded eight goals on their travels this season - the second-most in the division behind Bournemouth (9).

Manchester City & Ipswich Town Squad Analysis
Maresca has no new injuries or suspensions to deal with. Phil Foden will be eligible to return to action this weekend, having now served his suspension for the red card he was shown in the Manchester Derby.
Matheus Nunes, Iliman Ndiaye, and Ayyoub Bouaddi all produced impressive displays after coming on at the break against PSG in midweek. Nunes is likely to get the nod from the start here at right-back in place of Abdukodir Kusanov.
Erling Haaland bagged a brace against the Parisians and now has 10 goals in just nine appearances for City across all competitions this term. He also leads the EPL goalscorer standings with six goals.
Haaland scored a hat-trick in his last home game against Ipswich in the 2024-25 season!
Abdoul Ouatarra is quickly becoming a fan favourite at Ipswich. After an eye-catching debut at Everton, the 20-year-old Ivorian scored the team’s equaliser last week and has had no trouble coming to terms with the pace and physicality of the Prem.
Given the quality of their upcoming opponents, O’Neil may be tempted to deploy a back five for this match, with Jacob Greaves potentially joining Issa Diop, Dara O’Shea, Leif Davis, and Ouatarra in the backline.
Abdul Fatawu is eligible to return to the squad having served his suspension. The visitors have no reported injury concerns for this week’s trip to the Etihad.

Our Manchester City vs Ipswich Town Prediction
Ipswich Town will be extremely pleased with the start they have made on their return to the top flight, taking nine points from their first six games in this campaign, but this is their toughest assignment to date.
City have been the benchmark in the top flight so far this term, and they will be eager to put their midweek disappointment behind them. The Citizens scored 10 goals and conceded once in their last two league games against this opponent, and we fancy them to win this one fairly comfortably as well. Our Manchester City vs Ipswich Town prediction is Manchester City -1.
