Key Statistics
United's recent form is the obvious concern. They lost 2–0 to Hull in their opening league fixture, while Ipswich began life back in the Premier League with a 2–1 victory over Sunderland.
However, Ipswich are stepping up considerably in opposition quality. United have also shown enough attacking quality during pre-season and at Old Trafford to make them the stronger selection, particularly with home advantage.
Team News
United have been dealing with several squad issues and are under pressure after the Hull defeat.
Their midfield and defensive combinations remain an area of concern, meaning the coaching staff are expected to prioritise greater control rather than simply adding more attackers.
Ipswich have fewer injury concerns. Azor Matusiwa and Florentino Luís are unavailable, but the visitors otherwise have a relatively healthy squad.
Their attacking trio of Clarke, Enciso and Maeda gives them pace on the counter.
Prediction Analysis
Our Manchester United vs Ipswich Town prediction for today is over 1.5 goals. United's defensive issues and Ipswich attack will lead to goals
