Man City vs Ipswich Prediction
Manchester City got their title defence off to a strong start at Stamford Bridge last weekend as they swept aside Chelsea.
Ipswich, meanwhile, gave a good account of themselves but were ultimately undone by a strong second-half Liverpool performance in their opening match.
The Tractor Boys now face another tough task in the champions, at the Etihad, before a kinder run of fixtures.
City will be comfortable winners here.

Man City vs Ipswich Bet Builder Tips
Bet Builder: Over 3.5 Goals, Phil Foden To Score & Over 0.5 Shots For Jacob Greaves @ 11/1 with BetMGM at the time of publishing.
Ipswich started brightly against Liverpool last weekend but they were blown away in the second half. Arne Slot’s had an xG of 2.56 after the break as they won 2-0.
Manchester City scored more goals than any other team in the Premier League last season so I expect them to put the newly-promoted outfit to the sword.
Phil Foden has just been awarded the PFA Player of the Year award for last season and he can celebrate that achievement with a goal here. in the last year, Foden has a non-penalty xG of 0.63 per 90 minutes played, meaning he is in the 99th percentile when compared with all other attacking midfielders and wingers across Europe’s top five leagues.
We are also backing Jacob Greaves to have a shot. The Tractor Boys will be starved of opportunities from open play so their only chances may come from set-pieces. The centre-back is a threat aerially and managed two shots against Liverpool last weekend.
