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.
