Ipswich vs Man City LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today
Manchester City's Phil Foden scored twice and created another goal in an outstanding first-half display as they hammered Ipswich Town 6-0 at Portman Road on Sunday to move back into the Premier League's top four.
The comprehensive win moved City to 38 points and into fourth position on goal difference ahead of Newcastle United, but they are still 12 points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand, and six behind Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.
Foden opened the scoring in the 27th minute before teeing up Mateo Kovacic to double City's advantage three minutes later, and Foden then added another goal in the 42nd minute to send his side in 3-0 up at the break.
Jeremy Doku netted the fourth with a deflected effort just after halftime before setting up Erling Haaland to score, and substitute James McAtee completed the rout in the 69th minute with a looping header

Guardiola in McAtee transfer message as Man City boss predicts change
19:39 , Jonathan Gorrie
Pep Guardiola hopes Manchester City can keep James McAtee at the club long-term.
The City academy graduate has been linked with the likes of Fulham and Newcastle in recent weeks after a lack of game time under Guardiola.
Still, the 22-year-old scored City’s final goal in Sunday’s 6-0 thrashing of Ipswich to continue a recent run of first-team minutes.
City have let a number of young players leave in pursuit of more regular football elsewhere, most notably Cole Palmer who is now flourishing at Chelsea.
However, Guardiola has expressed his desire to keep McAtee at the club.

Ipswich vs Man City: Premier League score prediction today
14:02 , Jonathan Gorrie
City’s results have improved of late but it remains difficult to confidently back them, and with a difficult Champions League test on the horizon, Pep Guardiola may be forced into a reshuffle.
Ipswich will surely revert to a back five for the game - which almost brought dividends against Arsenal last month and will make it hard for Erling Haaland to celebrate his new nine-and-a-half-year contract with a goal.
Draw, 1-1.
