    One minute of silence for Denis Law, who passed away at the age of 84 on Friday. The Man United legend also had a short spell at City. Rest in Peace.

    Players are out of the tunnel, here we goooooooo!!
  • PRVW
    Kyle Walker is again out of the squad as the defender looks set to be joining AC Milan.
  • PRVW
    Man City starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Ederson (GK); Matheus Nunes, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Gundogan; Foden, De Bruyne, Doku; Haaland.

    Ipswich starting lineup (3-4-2-1): Walton (GK); Burgess, Godfrey, Greaves; O'Shea, Cajuste, Morsy, Johnson; Hutchinson, Delap, Clarke.
  • PRVW
    Lineups have landed at Portman Road!! Let's see what they're saying starting with the hosts...
  • PRVW
    Man City possible lineup (4-1-4-1): Ortega (GK); Lewis, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol; Gundogan; Bernardo, McAtee, Foden, Doku; Haaland.
  • PRVW
    Ipswich possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Walton (GK); O'Shea, Godfrey, Greaves, Davis; Cajuste, Morsy; Philogene, Hutchinson, Clarke; Delap.
  • PRVW
    With that all settled, let's warm things up with some possible lineups!!
  • PRVW
    As for City, Rodri is the long-term absentee due to a season-ending ACL injury. John Stones is edging closer to a return but won't feature, while Ruben Dias and Oscar Bobb, who are both back in training, could feature in the matchday squad after recovering from injury.
  • PRVW
    But the newly promoted side will be without Sammie Szmodics, who is out with an ankle problem. He joins Conor Chaplin, Chiedozie Ogbene and Axel Tuanzebe on the sidelines. Elsewhere, Kalvin Phillips is ineligible to face his parent club at Portman Road.
  • PRVW
    While Ipswich host the English champions as clear underdogs, City's fallibility means they must believe an upset could be on the cards.
  • PRVW
    While their hopes for a fifth consecutive Premier League title have faded, the top four remains a massive priority for Man City, especially given their current placement in the Champions League, which could condemn them to a shock early exit from the tournament.
  • PRVW
    Man City's title defence looks as good as over as they sit in 8th place in the standings with 35 points. Following their stumble at home against Brentford (2-2), Pep Guardiola's men will be aiming to get back to winning ways at Ipswich, who sit in 18th position.
