Anthony Eadson’s Manchester City vs Ipswich Town predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.

Premium Tips

City are overwhelming favourites, so the value lies in how they win rather than whether they do.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Rayan Cherki to score anytime9/4 (Sky Bet)Cherki has been City’s spark in their perfect start, chipping in with four goals and two assists in six appearances. Ipswich have conceded eight goals in three away games and kept no clean sheet on the road, so City’s creators should have a field day. With Haaland occupying defenders, Cherki’s late runs from midfield have found space all season, and he looks a strong bet to score again. City have scored 16 goals already, so the chances will be there, and 9/4 makes plenty of sense.
Manchester City to win 3-08/1 (bet365)City have won all six games and scored 16 goals, keeping three clean sheets, and they have conceded only once in three away trips. Ipswich have been beaten in two of three on their travels, shipping eight goals in the process. At home they have won all three games and scored eight goals in the process. The sides’ last two meetings finished 6-0 and 4-1 in City’s favour, so a heavy, low-risk home win is very much on the cards, and a 3-0 scoreline pays a tempting 8/1.
