Ipswich vs Man City LIVE! Premier League match stream, latest score and goal updates today
Manchester City vs Ipswich – LIVE!
Man City today head to Ipswich in the Premier League, looking to play themselves out of a funk. Pep Guardiola’s side may be unbeaten over the last few games but even the City boss has stressed his team have not yet restored former glories. Indeed, throwing a late two-goal lead away at Brentford on Tuesday night did not speak of a side ready to go on a huge run to threaten the upper echelons of a competition they have dominated in recent years.
This week, however, brought good news as star striker Erling Haaland extended his contract right through until the summer of 2034. With at least some of the off-field noise settled, perhaps Guardiola’s side can start to turn a corner.
The Tractor Boys, meanwhile, lost to Brighton earlier this week but have taken points off Manchester United and Chelsea at home this season. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!

Ipswich vs Man City: Premier League score prediction today
14:02 , Jonathan Gorrie
City’s results have improved of late but it remains difficult to confidently back them, and with a difficult Champions League test on the horizon, Pep Guardiola may be forced into a reshuffle.
Ipswich will surely revert to a back five for the game - which almost brought dividends against Arsenal last month and will make it hard for Erling Haaland to celebrate his new nine-and-a-half-year contract with a goal.
Draw, 1-1.
