Ipswich has been the busiest Premier League The club are so far in the January transfer window, and could start for new arrivals Ben Godfrey and Jaden Filogen on Sunday. Phylogeny has just finished its work move From Aston Villa.
Omri Hutchinson recovered from a groin injury in time to face Brighton and should be involved from the start here. However, Sammy Szmodics pulls it out with a leg problem.
Kelvin Phillips is ineligible to face his parent club after arriving on loan in the summer. He joins Conor Chaplin, Chidozie Ogbene and Axel Tuanzebe.
Ipswich Predicted Lineup vs Man City (4-2-3-1): Walton; O’Shea, Godfrey, Greaves, Davies; Cajuste, Morsy; Phylogeny, Hutchinson, Clarke; Delap.
Ruben Dias and Oscar Bob have both returned to training, although given the length of his absence we may have to wait a little longer to see the latter back in action. Dias could return to the matchday squad this weekend.
John Stones is also close to a return but will not feature at Portman Road. Rodri is out for the long haul.
Savinho has impressed on the left in recent weeks and Phil Foden scored twice at Brentford, but Guardiola should have an eye in City’s crucial upcoming Champions League clash against PSG.
Kyle Walker will be left out of the squad Until his future is resolved.
Man City Predicted Lineup vs Ipswich (4-1-4-1): Ortega; Lewis, Akanji, Ake, Guardiol; Gundogan; Bernardo, McAtee, Foden, Docu; Holland.
city The unit remains defensively vulnerable in transition, and their box defending has suffered in the absence of Ruben Dias.
Thus, Liam Delap and company should back themselves to have some fun on Sunday. However, the visitors have also stepped up in attack of late, and it is hard to imagine a well-organised but talent-depleted Ipswich team this weekend.
Haaland ran riot in the reverse fixture and could celebrate a new nine-and-a-half-year deal at Portman Road.
