Erling Haaland, despite scoring his 10th goal of the season in Manchester City's dramatic 4-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, is set to start against Ipswich. However, due to the heavy workload and risk of injury, manager Enzo Maresca hinted at giving Haaland a rest for an upcoming match against AEK Athens in the Champions League.
