Ipswich Town face a stern test of their Premier League credentials with a trip to face leaders Manchester City on Saturday. The Tractor Boys, currently 10th in the table with nine points from six games, travel to the Etihad Stadium where City have been in formidable form.
That victory ended a run of three consecutive defeats, which included a 5-2 loss at Manchester United and a 2-0 home defeat to Liverpool. Their top scorer this season is Emersonn, who has netted twice in six appearances.
Manchester City, meanwhile, have won their last four matches, including a 3-0 victory at Liverpool last weekend. They have scored 13 goals across that period and average over two expected goals per game at home. Ipswich’s recent defensive record will be a concern, having conceded 12 goals already this season.
Ipswich’s last starting lineup featured C. Walton in goal, with a back four of A. Ouattara, I. Diop, D. O'Shea and L. Davis. They will need to be at their best to contain a City attack led by Haaland. The match kicks off at 15:00 local time on 17 October.
