AFTER their defeat at home to Liverpool last weekend, Ipswich Town's baptism of fire on the return to the Premier League continues when they play away to Manchester City tomorrow.
Ipswich Town has a historical winning record over the reigning league champions with 28 victories and 23 defeats. Even in the Premier League era, the Suffolk side has won as many games against Manchester City as they have lost.
However, the last of those meetings came 22 years ago before City had been taken over by the Abu Dhabi United Group, or even moved to the City of Manchester Stadium. Since then, Ipswich have been out of the top flight, only retuning this season, and Manchester City have won eight Premier League titles. For this weekend’s game, some bookmakers are offering odds of 30/1 on Ipswich emerging victorious.
