What will decide it?

Home edge

How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home · promoted
Ipswich Town
As a promoted side, Ipswich will prioritise not conceding at Portman Road. Their best chances usually come from dead balls and transitions.
Away
Manchester City
A side with title-level depth. Man City tend to suffocate opponents on their trip to Portman Road, so Ipswich will need a disciplined, low block.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Man City name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Ipswich score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
