Manchester City vs Ipswich Town Confirmed Match Officials

Michael Salisbury has been selected the referee for Manchester City’s Premier League match versus Ipswich Town at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola’s team faces newly promoted Ipswich Town in their first home game of the 2024/25 season, with Manchester City hoping to make it two Premier League triumphs in a row after defeating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on the opening weekend.

Manchester City began their latest title defence with a crucial three points, defeating Enzo Maresca’s side 0-2 in west London, with goals from Erling Haaland and Mateo Kovacic.

Ipswich Town began their Premier League campaign with a 0-2 loss to Liverpool at Portman Road, thanks to quick second-half goals from Mo Salah and Diogo Jota.

This summer, Kieran McKenna’s team added two Manchester City players to their top-flight squad: Liam Delap on a permanent deal for £20 million and Kalvin Phillips on loan.

Manchester City’s summer addition Savinho might make his home debut against Ipswich this weekend, while Ilkay Gundogan, 33, could also play after agreeing to return to the Etihad Stadium on a free transfer from FC Barcelona.

The Premier League has confirmed the match officials for Saturday’s clash at the Etihad Stadium.
