Follow all the action from Portman Road
Follow live coverage as Ipswich Town face Manchester United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
Davis has pulled up with an injury off the ball, and goes down requiring treatment in what will be a worrying development for Kieran McKenna.

BLOCKED!!! Evans puts Burns' cross behind for an Ipswich corner, and after Davis' delivery is headed back across the face of goal by O'Shea, the ball sits up kindly for Huthcinson and his left-footed effort is blocked by Dalot!

Eriksen is released into space through the middle and finds Dalot advanced to his left, but the Portuguese's cross is too close to Muric and the Ipswich goalkeeper gathers.

SAVED!!!! Hutchinson steps up to take the free-kick for Ipswich, curling a decent effort beyond the wall but straight into the gloves of Onana!

A glorious turn from Hutchinson gives Delap space to run over halfway and into the final third. He looks to get past Evans and into the Manchester United box, but is caught by the defender and it'll be a free-kick well within shooting range for the Tractor Boys.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
Manchester United have won 17 of their last 19 Premier League games against newly promoted opponents since a 4-1 loss at Watford in November 2021 – which led to the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Away from home, they have won their last nine league games at promoted sides.

Good work from Hutchinson, Tuanzebe and Burns down the right gives the latter space to cross into the middle, and it takes an awkward deflection behind off Eriksen to gift the hosts a corner!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
Manchester United are starting with a back three for the first time in the Premier League since a 4-0 loss to Liverpool in April 2022 – but things are going much more smoothly this time around.

Play comes to a halt with Amad down injured following a late clipping by Burgess, and Amorim will be hoping that the Ivorian is fit enough to carry on given what he's already provided in this game.
