Manchester City, the defending champions of the Premier League, began the season with a solid 2-0 victory over Chelsea.

As they aim for a fifth consecutive English top-flight title, City is looking to build on their strong start.

In their upcoming match, Ipswich Town hopes to secure points at the challenging Etihad Stadium, where they have not played since being relegated in 2002.

Ipswich has been absent from the Premier League for 22 years and is eager to make a mark in the competitive league.

The team has bolstered its squad during the summer transfer window, signing several players including former City stars Arijanet Muric, Kalvin Phillips, and Liam Delap.

Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna has adjusted his team's formation to a more defensive 4-3-3 to counter City's attacking prowess.

Meanwhile, discussions have reportedly taken place between Ilkay Gündoğan and Manchester City's manager Pep Guardiola regarding a potential return to the club.

Gündoğan, who left City last summer after captaining them to a historic treble, is expected to sign a one-year contract extending until 2025.

Guardiola has also provided updates on the fitness of key players Rodri and Savinho ahead of the match.

Despite a minor error in the previous match, goalkeeper Ederson remains a crucial part of City's defense.

As the excitement of the Premier League continues, the unpredictability of the competition adds to the anticipation surrounding the upcoming fixtures.

A simulation of the match predicts a final score of Manchester City 4, Ipswich Town 1, reflecting City's strong form.
