The last head-to-head match between the teams took place over 20 years ago, with the "Citizens" winning 4-1. Manchester City has won their last ten Premier League matches by at least a two-goal margin. In five of Ipswich's last six matches, only one team has managed to score.

Manchester City

The Citizens” continue their dominance in English football, securing their fourth consecutive Premier League title last season. This achievement is unique and sets a new standard in Premier League history. Over the summer, the team maintained a calm approach to squad changes, avoiding a transfer frenzy.

The only significant addition was Savio to strengthen the attacking line, while Julián Álvarez left the club to join Atlético Madrid. Manchester City started the new season confidently by winning the FA Community Shield. Pep Guardiola’s team defeated Manchester United in a penalty shootout. In the first round of the Premier League, City earned three points by beating Chelsea 2-0 away.

Ipswich Town

The Tractor Boys” return to the top tier of English football after more than two decades, a return well-deserved thanks to their excellent performance in last season’s Championship. The team fought for first place until the end but finished in second place, which still secured their promotion.

In preseason matches, Kieran McKenna’s side showed decent form, with victories over Shakhtar, Hoffenheim, and Nice by narrow 1-0 margins, and a single defeat to Fortuna Düsseldorf, 1-2. In their debut Premier League match, Ipswich Town put up a commendable fight against Liverpool at home but ultimately lost 0-2.
