Manchester City, the reigning champions, will host Ipswich Town this weekend in a David vs Goliath encounter.
Pep Guardiola's City started their 2024/25 Premier League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Chelsea.
Ipswich, playing in the top flight for the first time since 2002, went down 0-2 to Liverpool in the season opener. Though they earned plaudits for their resilience, Kieran McKenna's men will have to really step it up if they want to give City a run for their money.

Man City vs. Ipswich lineups, team news
Ilkay Gundogan's second coming at the Etihad Stadium is set to begin on the bench after Rico Lewis, Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva commanded central midfield effectively at Stamford Bridge in Rodri's absence. The Spain star was still yet to return to training in the middle of this week after suffering an injury during the final of Euro 2024 and this weekend is set to come too soon.
Phil Foden was a member of the defeated England team in Berlin and the freshly crowned PFA Men's Player of the Year is set to return to the starting line-up. Foden replaced Savinho last weekend but the Brazil winger appears to have shaken off a knee niggle.
Man City predicted XI (3-3-1-3 right to left): Ederson (GK) — Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol — Lewis, Kovacic, Silva — De Bruyne — Foden, Haaland, Grealish
Injured: Rodri
Suspended:
Liam Delap joined Ipswich from City this summer and is an academy graduate who starred as a striker in the same youth team as Cole Palmer. He will be keen to make a statement against familiar foes, although on-loan midfielder Kalvin Phillips is ineligible to face his parent club.
Chelsea striker Armando Broja and Sunderland forward Jack Clarke are set to come in to further reinforce Kieran McKenna's attacking options but if their transfers are completed in time for the weekend they are most likely to feature from the bench.
Ipswich predicted (3-4-3, right to left): Walton (GK) — Tuanzebe, Woolfenden, Greaves — Johnson, Luongo, Morsey, Davis — Szmodics, Delap, Hutchinson.
