Ipswich's season has been much less settled. They've beaten Crystal Palace 3-2 away and Sunderland 2-1 at home, but they've also lost 5-2 at Manchester United and shipped two at home to Liverpool. That's a defence that can be got at, especially away from home.

City's attack has been relentless, and Ipswich have conceded regularly even in matches they've won.

Comparative Team Statistics: Manchester City vs Ipswich

Recent history has been one-sided

The last two meetings between these clubs both went City's way by big margins, including a 6-0 win at Ipswich's own ground. The other saw City win 4-1 at home.

Both games are from last season, so they're not proof of what will happen this time, but they do show how badly wrong it's gone for Ipswich in this fixture recently.

A big gap in the table

City sit top of the Premier League with maximum points from their five games. Ipswich are down in 11th, with two wins and three losses so far and a goal difference well in the red.

That gap in the table lines up with what we're seeing in form: City dominating games, Ipswich picking up points in patches.

Haaland in scoring form, one to watch for Ipswich

Erling Haaland has scored five goals in his last five appearances for City, so he's clearly in a rich vein of form heading into this one. Cherki has also chipped in with goals and assists in the same run.
