Man City vs Ipswich: Maresca Rests Four Starters

Manchester City host Ipswich in Round 7 of the Premier League. The Cityzens sit top of the table with a perfect record after six consecutive wins, but will be keen to bounce back following a heavy midweek Champions League defeat to PSG. The hosts earned an impressive victory over Liverpool a week ago, showing that off-pitch issues have not derailed their campaign. Meanwhile, the newly promoted Tractor Boys have enjoyed a solid start to life in the top flight, winning three of their six games to sit comfortably in mid-table.

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca makes four changes to the side that featured at Anfield last weekend. Key midfield duo Elliot Anderson and Enzo Fernández are both rested, making way for Mateo Kovačić and Ayyoub Bouaddi, who earns his first Premier League start. Phil Foden and Jérémy Doku also come into the starting lineup.

Ipswich make just two changes from their win over Fulham. Jacob Greaves returns to the side, while Exequiel Palacios steps into midfield in place of Saša Lukić, who drops out of the matchday squad entirely.
