- 曼城在本赛季的21场联赛中，除了4场外，其余都丢了球
- 公民队在过去的11次联赛中有10次失球
- 福登在过去的五次英超联赛中已经进了四个球
城市遭遇2025年第一次挫折
在2024年噩梦般的最后一节之后，曼城似乎已经扭转了局面，赢得了新年的前两场比赛。然而，佩普·瓜迪奥拉；周中，中国队在布伦特福德的比赛中丢掉了两球的领先优势，在追逐重返英超联赛的过程中丢掉了关键点；这是前四名。
城市将在1月份迎来一些游客，而埃尔林·哈兰德（Erling Haaland）；这份巨额的新合同对俱乐部来说是一个真正的积极因素。这位前锋已经承诺到2033/34赛季结束，他的巨额续约甚至超过了切尔西；这是最长的交易。就在他34岁生日之前，他把自己绑在了俱乐部里；早已过去的瓜迪奥拉；s统治时期–；哈兰德看起来正在领导曼城；我们回到了顶峰。
Ipswich的问题
伊普斯维奇在不到两年前还在英甲打球的球队中表现得非常好。然而，他们的生存希望可能取决于国内的改善，因为他们；我只赢了他们在波特曼路的前11场比赛中的一场。
东道主在与前六名的六场比赛中输掉了五场，其中包括在本赛季的第二场比赛中以4比1输给阿提哈德。那就是’；这是拖拉机男孩被吹走的罕见情况之一，但他们；我需要的不仅仅是竞争力，才能爬出下降区。
城市常见的失败
当曼城继续寻求防守增援时，他们；我在解决他们的后顾之忧方面做得很少。他们的问题始于罗德里本赛季被排除在外之前，因为曼城本赛季在21场联赛中只保持了4场零封。
在过去的11场客场比赛中，公民队在所有比赛中都有10场失利。瓜迪奥拉’；美国队一反常态地努力控制比赛并限制对手，他们的基本数据显示他们失宠了。他们’；在过去的12场英超比赛中，我有11场丢了1.0×G或更大的球。
伊普斯威奇避风港’；这学期没有临床表现，但他们可以利用曼城方面的优势；不要让对手保持沉默。前锋利亚姆·德拉普将渴望在对阵前东家的比赛中有所作为。伊普斯维奇在11场主场比赛中保持了一场零失球，所以两队都回来得分了。
如果城市’；菲尔·福登（Phil Foden）的命运将在2025年发生转变；她的恢复状态可能会发挥很大作用。他的数字比2023/24赛季有所下降，但福登在过去的五次出场中已经打进了四个英超联赛进球。周中，他在布伦特福德打进两球，周日他可以在此基础上再进一球。
预言：
两队得分
曼城2-1
菲尔·福登随时得分

- Foden has scored four goals across his last five Premier League appearances
City suffer first setback of 2025
After a nightmare final quarter in 2024, Manchester City looked to have turned a corner by winning their first two matches of the New Year. However, Pep Guardiola’s side blew a two-goal lead at Brentford in midweek, dropping vital points as they chase a return to the Premier League’s top four.
City are set for some January arrivals, while Erling Haaland’s huge new contract is a real positive for the club. The forward has committed through to the end of the 2033/34 season, with his huge contract extension outstripping even Chelsea’s longest deal. Having tied himself to the club just shy of his 34th birthday – and long past Guardiola’s reign – Haaland looks to be leading City’s return to the top.
Issues for Ipswich
Ipswich have held up incredibly well for a side who were playing in League One less than two years ago. However, their survival hopes will likely depend on an improvement at home, as they’ve won just one of their first 11 games at Portman Road.
The hosts have lost five of six clashes with the top six, which includes a 4-1 loss at the Etihad in their second game of the campaign. That’s one of the rare occasions where the Tractor Boys have been blown away, but they’ll need to be more than simply competitive to clamber out of the drop zone.
Familiar failings for City
While City continue to pursue defensive reinforcements, they’ve done little to solve their problems at the back. Their issues started before Rodri was ruled out for the season, as City have managed just four clean sheets across 21 league games this season.
The Citizens have conceded in 10 of their last 11 away trips across all competitions. Guardiola’s side are uncharacteristically struggling to control games and restrict their opponents, with their underlying numbers showing their fall from grace. They’ve conceded 1.0 xG or greater in 11 of their last 12 Premier League games.
Ipswich haven’t been clinical this term, but they can exploit a City side that can’t keep their opponents quiet. Forward Liam Delap will be keen to make his mark against his former side. Ipswich have kept one clean sheet across their 11 home games, so back both teams to score.
If City’s fortunes are to turn in 2025, Phil Foden’s return to form will likely play a big part. His numbers are down from the 2023/24 season, but Foden has scored his four Premier League goals in his last five appearances. He netted twice at Brentford in midweek and he can build on that with a goal on Sunday.
Predictions:Both Teams To Score
Manchester City 2-1
Phil Foden To Score Anytime
