Chris Sutton predicts the score for the Man City vs Ipswich Town match.

Chris Sutton, BBC Sport pundit, has weighed in on Manchester City’s upcoming Premier League clash with Ipswich Town, predicting a commanding victory for the reigning champions. In his latest column, Sutton forecasts a 4-0 win for City in their first home game of the season at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City, fresh off a 2-0 triumph over Chelsea, will be eager to continue their strong start. Their impressive performance in West London showcased their attacking prowess and solid defense. Meanwhile, Ipswich Town, who are newly promoted, suffered a 2-0 defeat at home against Liverpool in their opening match.

Sutton’s prediction reflects City’s dominance, particularly at home. Last season, City scored the highest number of goals in the Premier League, with 51 of their 96 goals coming at the Etihad. Ipswich, despite having a successful campaign in the Championship with 28 wins from 46 games and a high goal tally, face a tough challenge against a City side that has been particularly formidable on home turf.

Ipswich’s manager, Kieran McKenna, has acknowledged the challenge posed by City’s star striker, Erling Haaland, who netted 27 goals last season. McKenna highlighted Haaland’s unique attributes, which could further contribute to City’s goal tally.

As City looks to build on their strong start and Ipswich aims to find their footing in the Premier League, Sutton’s prediction underscores the significant gap between the two sides’ current form and quality.
