We simulated Man City vs Ipswich Town to get a score prediction for Premier League clash

Manchester City will be looking to make it two wins from two in the Premier League, as they face newly promoted Ipswich Town this weekend.

After an impressive 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge in their opening game, City's first home game of their 2024/25 Premier League campaign sees them face Kieran McKenna's Ipswich Town, a game in which Pep Guardiola will hope to welcome back some of the players who featured in the latter stages of Euro 2024.

Phil Foden could make the starting XI for the first time this season but the likes of Rodri, John Stones and Kyle Walker might have to make do with a spot on the bench.

We predict that City could line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Ederson; Lewis, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Bernardo Silva, De Bruyne; Foden, Haaland, Doku.

We predict that Ipswich could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Walton; Tuanzebe, Woolfenden, Greaves, Davis; Morsy, Luongo; Johnson, Chaplin, Hutchinson: Delap.

Conor Chaplin received the ball in the final third and threaded a pass into Delap's path, with the striker running onto the ball and firing a stunning finish past Ederson to give the away side an early lead.
