Form and the table
City have won four of their last five recent matches, the exception a 2-4 defeat to PSG in midweek. A win here would take them to 21 points from seven games; a draw to 19. Ipswich have won two of their last five, Ipswich host Fulham looking to climb away from bottom three producing the more recent of those victories. A win at the Etihad would lift them to 12 points from seven; a draw to ten.
The market-implied probability gives City a 76.7 per cent chance of victory, Ipswich 9.6 per cent, the draw 13.7. The three previous meetings between the clubs all ended in City wins, 6-0 in January last year, 4-1 in August 2024, and 4-1 in January 2002, and produced 16 goals in total.
Saturday at five
Lineups were not yet announced at the time of writing. City's goal difference of plus-eleven is the second-best in the division behind Brighton's plus-thirteen; Ipswich's minus-three sits mid-table.
