Manchester City and Ipswich Town have named their starting teams for their meeting at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Cityzens suffered their first defeat of the season in all competitions with a 4-2 home loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Enzo Maresca’s side have won all six of their top-flight matches in 2026/27, beating Liverpool 3-0 away last Sunday in their first game since being found guilty of 114 charges of breaching Premier League financial rules.
Ipswich have nine points and have won their last two matches, beating Crystal Palace 3-2 away and prevailing 2-1 at home to Fulham last Saturday, when the Tractor Boys turned the scoreline around through Abdoul Ouattara’s 88th-minute equaliser and Dara O’Shea’s 92nd-minute goal.
