Preview: Manchester City vs Ipswich
Manchester City have kicked off their new season with a bang, winning both of their opening matches. The team clinched their first piece of silverware for the season by defeating Manchester United in the FA Community Shield.
Their season opener was an away match against Chelsea, which they won 2-0 despite missing several key players. Now, Pep Guardiola’s team is gearing up for their first home game of the season at the Etihad Stadium, where they have an impressive record. They've been unbeaten in their last 45 home games, showcasing their dominance at their own ground.
On the other hand, Ipswich Town had a tough start to their Premier League journey after a 22-year absence. They faced a 2-0 defeat in their opening match. Under the guidance of Kieran McKenna, Ipswich Town has earned a solid reputation, achieving back-to-back promotions from League One to the Championship, and then from the Championship to the Premier League.
McKenna can be proud of his team's performance in the first half of their opening match against a top-tier team. They were close to scoring several times, but a weaker second half led to their defeat. The fixture list has also been challenging, as they now face the reigning champions.

After a successful previous season where he scored 11 goals and provided five assists, Hutchinson will be looking to continue his impressive form this year.
