Ipswich sit tenth and have netted 1.7 goals per game away from home in their six outings. The Suffolk side have scored in four of those six league games. Head to head encounters show Manchester City winning both but the games stayed close enough that Ipswich avoided heavy defeats. City have kept three clean sheets in six matches so far. Ipswich may still find openings in this fixture at the Etihad.
