Three. That is how many goals Manchester City have conceded across their last six matches, and getting past that is the problem Ipswich Town carry into the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, 17 October 2026. City have won all six of those games. Ipswich have won two of theirs.
Manchester City v Ipswich Town kicks off at 15:00 BST on Saturday, 17 October 2026 at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, in the Premier League. Enzo Maresca's City take on Gary O'Neil's Ipswich, with City also facing Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in midweek according to Rotowire.
Manchester City have won their last six matches in all competitions, taking 18 points, scoring 17 and conceding 3, most recently a 3-0 win away to Liverpool FC on 11 October 2026, 6 days before this fixture.
Every one of those three conceded goals came in a single afternoon, the 5-3 win at home to Sunderland on 20 September. Liverpool away, Norwich City in the EFL Cup, Manchester United away, FC Porto away and Coventry City at home were all shut out.
Not quite as emphatically as 17 goals sounds. Two of the six games produced ten of them - the 5-3 against Sunderland and a 5-0 against Norwich City in the EFL Cup on 17 September. The other four were won 3-0, 2-0, 1-0 and 1-0.
So City have had narrow afternoons recently, including 1-0 away to Manchester United on 13 September and 1-0 at home to Coventry City on 5 September. The defence is the genuine story of this run. The attack has been streakier than the headline figure suggests.
