Nevertheless, fellow academy product Foden missed out due to sickness, not among the forty players listed across the two matchday teams. Although the 24-year-old missed out of the team this week, he came off the bench in the second half against Chelsea last week.
Along with Issa Kabore, who was also part of the Community Shield matchday squad, the returning Ilkay Gundogan was included among the replacements.
Starting at Stamford Bridge six days ago, Pep Guardiola decided to name the same XI against Ipswich. Ederson was in nets front of a back four for Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol. Once more chosen as substitutes were Kyle Walker, John Stones, and Nathan Ake.
Rodri dropped out in midfield because of an injury; Mateo Kovacic carried on at the base of midfield. Retaining their central places were Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva.
