Man City Predicted XI vs Ipswich: Maresca Considers Haaland Rest<\/p>\n
Manchester City will look to bounce back from their 4-2 defeat to PSG, with Enzo Maresca considering how to manage his players\u2019 workload. Erling Haaland scored twice in Paris, but the City boss admits the striker needs rest amid a busy schedule.<\/p>\n
However, Haaland is expected to start against Ipswich, with Tuesday\u2019s Champions League clash against AEK Athens a more likely opportunity to rest him.<\/p>\n
Phil Foden should return after serving his three-match suspension, while Rayan Cherki could drop to the bench after being substituted at half-time against PSG. Iliman Ndiaye is also pushing for a starting place.<\/p>\n
Maresca could rotate his defence and midfield, with Matheus Nunes returning at right-back, Ayyoub Bouaddi potentially starting in midfield and Nico O\u2019Reilly replacing Josko Gvardiol. Ruben Dias and Marc Guehi are expected to retain their places.<\/p>\n
