Man City will be looking to prove their recent revival is no flash as they host an Ipswich side looking to climb out of the drop zone.
After a disastrous run of just one win in 13 games at the end of 2024, City appeared to have turned the corner as they started the new year with a run of three straight wins. That streak came to a halt in midweek, however, after Pep Guardiola’s side blew a two-goal lead against Brentford to draw 2-2, raising further doubts over whether the Citizens can claim a Champions League spot this season.
Next up for City is an Ipswich side who saw their hopes of escaping the drop damaged as they slipped to a 2-0 defeat at home to Brighton on Thursday. Despite this result, Kieran McKenna’s Tractor Boys remain just one below Wolves in 17th and in-form strikers Omari Hutchinson and Liam Delap may have their chances against an admittedly unconvincing City defence.
Ipswich Town take on Manchester City on Sunday 18 January at Portman Road, kick-off set for 4:30pm GMT local time. That makes it one 11:30 a.m. ET or 8:30 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 3.30am AEDT leaving for Australia in the early hours of Monday morning.

Quick tips for streaming the Premier League using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming EPL matches can vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search by city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve enabled your VPN and placed it in the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps that you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll need to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that every device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct location of sight.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their homepage for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on the file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, as both devices will appear to be in the right location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so make sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to sign in to your services. We usually recommend Brave.
