It will be a difficult test for City, with Ipswich having taken points off Manchester United and Chelsea at home this season. The Tractor Boys went down 2-0 against Brighton on Thursday.

Ipswich vs Man City prediction
City’s results have improved of late but it remains difficult to confidently back them, and with a difficult Champions League test on the horizon, Pep Guardiola may be forced into a reshuffle.
Ipswich will surely revert to a back five for the game – which almost brought dividends against Arsenal last month and will make it hard for Erling Haaland to celebrate his new nine-and-a-half-year contract with a goal.
