Welcome! Manchester City have taken an upturn in recent weeks after being absolutely ruddy awful for a surprisingly long time. They’ve been boosted by Erling Haaland signing his life away this week and the fact lots of players are lined up to join the club.

Ipswich are in the drop-zone but have surprised some of the big hitters and beat Chelsea at Portman Road last month. Kieran McKenna must have taken some influence from Pep Guardiola, judging by his style of play and will be eager to test him against the Catalan once more. The same can be said of Liam Delap who looks like a cracking No 9 and was moulded in the City academy before being sold of to the Tractor Boys.

McKenna changed three of his usual back five. Including giving Ben Godfrey, on loan from Atalanta, his debut in this match.
We're ready to rock and roll at a packed Portman Road.
email He was dropped from the famous Kieran McIntosh.
That scene from new hope There, Vader and Obi-Wan fight, and Vader says: “When I left you, I was just a learner.'' Before this match, the thought that comes to mind is “Now I am the master.'' Ipswich, who suffered a 4-1 defeat at the Etihad, are starting to look like they will allow City to take the lead. Especially with Delap, Prem's answer to Luke Skywalker, he has a point to prove.
I also liked this comment from Peter Oh: “This is +-=÷× £$€¥¢ Derby!”
Manager Guardiola speaks to TV cameras Despite saying, “It doesn't matter how we do it,'' we are desperately trying to get three points today. It's very different from the football philosophy we used to know, isn't it?
Ruben Dias' return to defense is an obvious boon for City, but it will be interesting to see how the rest of the back four (or three?) is made up. Is Matheus Nunez a left back? Is Ilkay Gundogan falling too deep? Let's take a look.
A match report for the 2pm game will be posted soon. But kick-off at Portman Road is getting closer and closer. It feels like a typical big-man battle this afternoon as Liam Delap fires to prove a point against his former employers, but Erling Haaland will leave his mark and hope that City will They will want to justify the new 65-year contract they gave him.
Full-time results:
A typical day at Barclay’s, that’s all I ask for…
It is strange to look at the Premier League table and see Manchester City in 8th place.
The only consolation for City fans is that United (again losing) shock!) has fallen to 13th place. City could move up to fifth today and could even move up to fourth with a big win.
From 2022 onwards, Jayden Philozine was loaned from Aston Villa to Stoke, loaned from Aston Villa to Cardiff, sold from Aston Villa to Hull, resigned from Aston Villa, then sold from Aston Villa to Ipswich. He sits on the bench and could make his debut for Kieran McKenna's side today after completing his move to East Anglia in January.
This is a good video. Philogen etc.

This is a wonderful thing. Johnny Liu talks about Liam Delap.
Ipswich vs Man City At the start of the season, it may have seemed like this might be the league's biggest mismatch, but the current schedule shows only a one-point difference between the two teams.
The Tractor Boys have seemed to be slowly coming back to their feet of late, but City's struggles are far from over, as they are unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions. Of course, Josep Guardiola's side will be the big favorites this afternoon, but not everything may go their way.

Well, there was no shortage of action in the early games. Surprisingly no oneBrighton score early at Manchester United, Nottingham Forest move into the lead against struggling Southampton… Meanwhile, Everton's three goals in 45 minutes at home are even more shocking, especially for Spurs It was.
Follow everything with Rob Smith.
preamble
welcome! Manchester City have been completely red-handed for an astonishingly long time, but things have turned around in recent weeks. They are buoyed by the fact that Erling Haaland signed a lifetime away contract this week and a number of players are set to join the club.
Ipswich are in the drop zone but surprised the heavy hitters, beating Chelsea at Portman Road last month. Kieran McKenna must have taken some influence from Pep Guardiola, judging by his style of play, and will be keen to test him again against the Catalans. The same goes for Liam Delap. Liam Delap looked like a cracked No. 9, molded in City's academy before being sold to the Tractor Boys.
Let's eat crackers this afternoon!
Kickoff: 4:30pm GMT
