Ipswich vs Manchester City preview
Ipswich Town saw a two-game run of collecting points end at home to Brighton at midweek, as the Seagulls kept ex-City forward Liam Delap and the Tractor Boys off the score sheet.
City tossed aside a two-goal lead to Brentford at midweek, ending their bid to win three-straight. Unbeaten in four, City need to get all three points before the UEFA Champions League serves as a tough appetizer to a gauntlet of a five match-run in the Premier League: home to Chelsea, away to Arsenal, home to Newcastle and Liverpool, then off to Spurs.

Ipswich Town vs Manchester City prediction
Here’s another wild stat given City’s status as a dynasty: just one clean sheet from the Citizens since December 4. But Erling Haaland will be hitting the pitch after signing what amounts to nine-and-a-half seasons at the Etihad and it seems like he’ll be the type to deliver on the news. Ipswich Town 1-4 Man City.
