Ipswich Town vs Manchester City Prediction

Ipswich Town failed to build on the spectacular end they made to 2024 that saw them claim a 2-0 home win over Chelsea in their final game of the year. They followed this up with a loss to Brighton last time out, but Jaden Philogene's big-money arrival from Aston Villa has fans of the Tractor Boys buzzing.

Manchester City's season from hell continued last time out as they let a two-goal lead slip with just eight minutes left in regulation time. The stalemate left the defending champions three points off the top four.

We are backing the visitors to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Ipswich Town 1-3 Manchester City
