Manchester City finished 2nd in Pep Guardiola’s final season in charge, finishing seven points behind Premier League Champions Arsenal.

City pushed The Gunners all the way but couldn’t quite get their hands on another Premier League title before Guardiola’s departure.

Despite missing out on the Premier League title, City did lift both domestic cups after final wins over Chelsea and Arsenal at Wembley.

Erling Haaland once again impressed throughout the campaign, getting his name on the scoresheet 38 times in all competitions.

Midway through the season, Man City brought in Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth, who settled into life in Manchester very quickly.

The Ghanaian winger netted 21 goals across all competitions throughout the 25/26 season.

City’s new manager Enzo Maresca has found plenty of success since entering the dugout following his playing career.

Maresca led Leicester to the EFL Championship title in 2024 before joining Chelsea as their Head Coach.

The former Juventus midfielder was a huge favourite amongst the fanbase but failed to share a vision with the club’s board of directors, resulting in them parting ways.

Ipswich Town’s 2025/26 season was a strange one to live through, but it ended in exactly the right place.

After relegation from the Premier League, there was a clear sense of change at Portman Road. The squad looked different almost immediately, with only a small core remaining from the group that had achieved back to back promotions. Players like Liam Delap and Omari Hutchinson moved on, and it felt less like a continuation and more like starting again.

Kieran McKenna stayed in charge, and that continuity mattered. Coming into management after coaching roles at Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, he had already delivered two promotions with Ipswich. This season, though, was about rebuilding rather than riding momentum.

The early weeks were uneven. Ipswich did not quite click, with a mix of draws, narrow defeats, and an EFL Cup exit to Bromley that summed up the frustration around the club at the time. There was no panic, but there was clearly work to do.

The turning point came with the 5 0 win over Sheffield United in September. It did not fix everything overnight, but it changed the feeling around the team. Confidence started to return and performances became more consistent.

The derby wins over Norwich City also stood out. Those games gave the fans something to latch onto, and you could feel the mood shift around the club on those days.

From there, Ipswich slowly climbed into a stronger position. They became harder to beat, more controlled in games, and better at managing pressure.

On 2^nd May, it all came together with a 3-0 win over Queens Park Rangers at Portman Road, sealing promotion back to the Premier League.

Overall, these two clubs have gone head to head in a competitive fixture in all competitions on a total of 68 occasions, and it is the visitors who have the superior record of 28 victories compared with City’s record of 25 overall. City have drawn with Ipswich on 15 occasions to date.
