Key Stats
Manchester City
Man City will play their second PL match without the services of influential midfielder Rodri and Oscar Bobb is facing a layoff for a couple of months after suffering a fractured leg. But, the PL champions can take positives from the potential availability of Savinho and the likely return of Ilkay Gundagon. The winner of the PFA Player of the Year Phil Foden is expected to start their first premier league game at home after starting on the bench against Chelsea.
Man City will be heavy favorites on Saturday versus Ipswich who lost their opening, 2-0 against Liverpool. Since 2021, the Citizens have won 17 of their last 18 PL games against newly promoted teams. City is a well-oiled machine and with some injuries to key players, Ipswich will not mount a major challenge to them.
Expected lineup: Ederson, Lewis, Akanji, Gvardiol, Dias, Kovacic, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Doku, Foden, and Haaland.
Ipswich
Ipswich will not be having the services of George Hirst, Nathan Broadhead, and Harry Clarke who are each out for a long-term period. Kavin Philips, who is on loan from Man City, will not be eligible to play. The newly promoted side is making an effort to sign Armando Broja on loan from Chelsea before their game against City. Ipswich Town had only two shots on target against Liverpool and will struggle to get any more shots against City.
Under the reign of Kieran Mckenna, ChelseaIpswich Town got back-to-back promotions and the team will face City with pride after showing excellent teamwork against Liverpool. Ipswich Mckenna is wooing his players to sustain the team efforts as surviving in the premier league will require more hardwork. Ipswich’s return to Pl is not getting easy as they get ready to battle away to Man City.
Expected lineup: Walton, Woolfenden, Tuanzebe, Greaves, Davis, Morsy, Luongo, Johnson, Chaplin, Hutchinson, and Delap.
Prediction
Manchester City are likely to give IIkay Gundogan his debut after his return from Barcelona. The Citizens are in full strength and Ipswich Town will play without their Manchester City loanee Kalvin Philips who could have given them more strength at the central position. In their game against Liverpool, Ipswich failed to impose their will in the game, with an expected goal of 0.45. Their expected goal might be worse, playing against a City side that is dominant at home and looking to start their premier league defense strong.
