2026-2027 Premier League: Manchester City vs. Ipswich—Probable Lineups

Manchester City vs. Ipswich is a match for Matchday 6 of the Premier League: kickoff is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. The Citizens still have a perfect record in the league, with six wins in six matches, but they’re coming off a heavy home loss to PSG in the Champions League, which has dampened the team’s enthusiasm somewhat. Thanks to wins over Crystal Palace and Fulham, the visitors have climbed to 10th place in the standings with 9 points.

Maresca continues to start Haaland as the center forward, with Ndiaye, Cherki, and Semenyo in the attacking midfield, and Enzo Fernandez and Anderson in the center of the field. Nunes and O’Reilly will play on the wings, with Guehi and Ruben Dias in front of Donnarumma.

Emersonn is Ipswich’s key offensive player, with Fatawu, Enciso, and Maeda in the attacking midfield. Palacios and Lukic are the two central midfielders.

Manchester City vs. Ipswich: Probable Lineups
Manchester City (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Nunes, Ruben Dias, Guehi, O’Reilly; Fernandez, Anderson; Ndiaye, Cherki, Semenyo; Haaland.
Ipswich Town (4-2-3-1): Scherpen; Ouattara, Diop, O’Shea, Davis; Palacios, Lukic; Fatawu, Enciso, Maeda; Emersonn.

City coach Maresca is aiming for a seventh straight win but warns everyone: “I’m only interested in how we can win this game. Records only matter if you’ve achieved something significant by the end of the season.” According to the coach, the team has grown closer following the FA’s ruling on irregularities: “Given all the media buzz that’s been generated, I can see that the fans, the club, and the team are undoubtedly more united.”
