MANCHESTER (Interstat) — Manchester City will host Ipswich on Friday at Etihad Stadium in a global football matchup between a Premier League power and a side seeking an upset.

Manchester City enters the game with six wins and one loss across all competitions. Ipswich has five wins, three losses and two draws. Both sides have played across multiple competitions this season.

Manchester City is coming off a 4-2 loss to PSG at home. Erling Haaland scored twice in 90 minutes in that match. Gianluigi Donnarumma played the full 90 minutes in goal, and Abdukodir Khusanov also went the distance. City’s recent results include a 3-0 win at Liverpool, a 5-3 home win over Sunderland, a 1-0 win at Manchester United, a 1-0 home win over Coventry, a 4-1 win at Crystal Palace and a 2-1 home win over Bournemouth.

Ipswich most recently beat Fulham 2-1 at home. Its other results this season include a 3-1 home win over Wolverhampton, a 1-0 win at Leicester, a 1-0 loss at Everton, a 0-0 draw at Southampton, a 3-2 win at Crystal Palace, a 1-1 home draw with Nottingham, a 2-0 home loss to Liverpool, a 5-2 loss at Manchester United and a 2-1 home win over Sunderland.

Haaland is the player to watch for Manchester City. The striker scored twice in his most recent appearance and remains the focal point of City’s attack. Ipswich will need a disciplined defensive effort to limit his chances at Etihad Stadium. The visitors have produced goals in several matches this season, including three against Wolverhampton and three at Crystal Palace, but they face a City side with only one loss across all competitions. Ipswich’s recent run includes a home win over Fulham, a road win at Leicester and a home win over Wolverhampton, but also losses to Everton, Liverpool and Manchester United. The visitors have shown scoring ability, with multiple games of two or more goals, and will need that form against a City defense that has conceded in recent matches.

Both clubs have crowded schedules ahead, with league fixtures continuing for each side. Manchester City’s upcoming slate includes matches against Aston Villa, Brighton, Nottingham, Fulham, Arsenal, Leeds United FC, Brentford U18, Chelsea U18, Hull and Newcastle. Ipswich’s upcoming slate includes Nottingham, Sunderland, Hull, Bournemouth, Bristol City, Watford, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Coventry and Leeds United FC.
