Ipswich have lost just one of their last 28 home league games against Man City (20 wins and 7 draws), winning the last 4 in a row. However, this is the first meeting since the 2-1 victory in May 2001.
In what is the 30th different league campaign in which they’ve met, Manchester City are looking to complete the double over Ipswich for just the third time, previously doing so in 1961-62 and 1994-95.
Since a 3-2 win against Manchester United in September 1994, Ipswich Town have not won in their last six Premier League games against the reigning champions (D1 L5). They have conceded 21 goals in this series, while they have only scored twice.
Manchester City have won 20 of their last 21 Premier League games against promoted sides since losing 2-1 to Leeds United in April 2021, with the only exception in this run being a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest in February 2023.
Over their last two Premier League campaigns (2001-02 and this one), Ipswich have won just one of their 14 games played on a Sunday (D6 L7), winning 2-1 at Spurs earlier this season.
Manchester City have dropped 14 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, letting a 2-0 lead slip to draw 2-2 with Brentford last time out. It’s the most points the Citizens have dropped from ahead in a single campaign since 2008-09 (20).
Manchester City have conceded 29 goals in 21 Premier League games this season, with their average of 1.4 goals conceded per game their highest in a single campaign since 2007-08 (also 1.4).
Sammie Szmodics scored Ipswich’s goal in their 4-1 defeat against Man City in the reverse fixture. The last time a player for a promoted side scored home and away goals against the reigning champions in a campaign was 2017-18, with Newcastle’s Dwight Gayle and Huddersfield’s Laurent Depoitre doing so against Chelsea.
Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick in Manchester City’s 4-1 win over Ipswich this past season; The player to score hat-tricks home and away against an opponent in the same campaign is Emmanuel Adebayor (Arsenal against Derby County in 2007-08).
After failing to score in his first 11 Premier League games this season, Manchester City’s Phil Foden has scored 4 goals in his last five. For the first time since October 2022, he will score in 3 consecutive league games.
