How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Manchester City
A side with title-level depth. Man City tend to suffocate opponents at Etihad Stadium, so Ipswich will need a disciplined, low block.
Away · promoted
Ipswich Town
As a promoted side, Ipswich will prioritise not conceding on their trip to Etihad Stadium. Their best chances usually come from dead balls and transitions.
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.
