Manchester City host Ipswich Town in the seventh round of the Premier League as they look to respond to their recent Champions League disappointment. The league leaders have won all six of their matches so far, and another victory would give them three valuable points while offering some consolation for their European setback.
The hosts suffered a heavy defeat by Paris Saint-Germain in their most recent Champions League fixture, losing 4-2 after the outcome had effectively been decided by the interval. They will now be expected to produce a confident display against one of the newcomers to England’s top division.
Manchester City’s previous two matches ended in contrasting results. After the 4-2 defeat by Paris Saint-Germain, they returned to domestic action with an emphatic 3-0 win over Liverpool.
Ipswich Town have not produced consistent results, but their return of nine points from six rounds represents a respectable start for the modestly regarded side. The visit to the Premier League leaders is clearly a difficult assignment, although the visitors may hope Manchester City’s European fatigue and disappointment work in their favour.
Even a draw would represent an excellent result for Ipswich Town. Beyond the point itself, securing a result at the home of the leaders could provide a significant psychological boost to the players.
Ipswich Town won their most recent league match 2-1 at home against Fulham. Before that, they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat away to Everton.
