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 FC 1 - 1 Manchester United FC
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
18:33There's the final whistle at Portman Road, and a goalless second half means it ends 1-1 between Ipswich Town and Manchester United! Garnacho saw a golden opportunity in the opening seconds of the second period saved, before Fernandes and Amad's efforts also went astray as the visitors were limited to just 0.90 xG. Ipswich, meanwhile, generated 1.75 xG at the other end, with Delap and Chaplin both forcing Onana into match-saving stops at either end of the half. The points being shared leaves United in 12th and sees Ipswich move up one place in the table, albeit they're still in the relegation zone after a display which saw them do more than enough to win the game!

18:27FULL-TIME: IPSWICH TOWN 1-1 MANCHESTER UNITED.

18:26BLOCKED!!! Amad does brilliantly to cut inside Davis into the box and moving onto his left foot, but sees his shot blocked by Burgess before Ipswich clear their lines!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
18:24We'll play at least four minutes of added time at Portman Road, which is more than enough time for either of these teams to find a late winner here!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
18:21United burst forward on the break themselves and Hojlund tees up Fernandes in the box, but his headed effort is blocked and cleared by O'Shea.

18:18Substitution Alejandro Garnacho Ferreyra Mason Tony Mount
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
18:18No player has created more chances in this game than Burns, who provided the assist for Hutchinson's goal, and Delap has had two of their five shots on target so far, forcing a pair of spectacular saves from Onana.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
18:14Conor Chaplin also comes on to add further threat in the final third, with Burns – another who has impressed in this game – the player withdrawn.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
18:14Delap has come by far the closest to finding a winner for Ipswich, but comes off now for Ali Al Hamadi to see the game out.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
18:12WIDE!!! Fernandes hits a United free-kick from 25 yards which he gets up and over the wall, but it whistles just past the far post and wide with Muric scrambling across in cover!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
18:11OVER!!! Zirkzee is given space on the right-hand side of the box and goes for goal, but it's a dismal effort which sails a mile over the top and doesn't trouble Muric at all.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
18:10Zirkzee forces an error from Davis which leaves the loose ball rolling back towards the corner flag, but Muric races out of his box and ends up hitting the linesman with his clearance!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
18:08Fernandes drops deep to pick out Garnacho on the run, and after he beats Tuanzebe down the left, his ball from the byline flashes across the face of goal untouched!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
18:07The Tractor Boys are looking to earn back-to-back wins in the competition for the first time since February 2002 – which also came following a 2-1 win over Tottenham – and efforts like that from Delap look to be their most likely source of a winning goal!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
18:05WIDE!!! Delap links up with Hutchinson in the middle and gets the ball back to drive forward at goal. He lets fly from 20 yards, but his right-footed effort flashes wide!

Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:57Substitution Samuel Joseph Szmodics Jack Raymond Clarke
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:57Manchester United won their last away league game against Ipswich 1-0 in April 2002, but only once in their league history have they won consecutive visits to Portman Road, doing so all the way back in 1962–63!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:54Amad dispossesses Davis in a duel on the near-side touchline, but his attempted back-heel for Rashford is a poor one and rolls straight out of play.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:52Aged 39 years and 302 days on the day of this game, Amorim is the youngest manager to take charge of his first match for the Red Devils since Wilf McGuinness in August 1969!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:50Manchetser United's first corner of the game is played short before being whipped in from the left by Eriksen, whose low cross is claimed and held bravely by Muric!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:49WHAT A TACKLE!!! Fernandes releases Garnacho inside his own half and the United winger is away, but he's eventually denied by Cajuste, who slides across with brilliant timing in the box, denying him a shot and putting the ball out for a corner!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:47Substitution Jonathan Grant Evans Luke Paul Hoare Shaw
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:46SAVED!!! Delap does brilliantly to turn, run and find Burns in space to his right, before arriving at the near post to connect with the winger's cross back in. His flick goalwards is saved brilliantly by Onana, and Morsy's follow-up shot is fired across the face of goal and wide!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:44Hutchinson goes up against Evans again but this time in a defensive capacity, conceding a free-kick for a clumsy challenge on the back-tracking Manchester United defender.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:42Ipswich had completed 222 passes so at the time of Hutchinson's goal late in the first half, the most they've completed in a Premier League first half this season and a clear display of just how well they grew back into the game following their early setback.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:40SAVED!!!! The visitors go oh so close to yet another quick-fire goal! Fernandes plays Garnacho in behind and his close-range shot is parried by Muric, but the ball is still alive and heading towards goal until Burgess hammers it clear!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:38Both sides' win probabilities have dropped slightly in our live tracker, with Ipswich still trailing on a 19.5% chance to Manchester United's 49.3%, but both sides will be keen to get the three points won as Rashford kicks off the second half for the hosts!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:29Hutchinson has been the creative hub behind Ipswich's comeback, producing 0.22 xG on his own and equalising with a sublime finish. The England youth international has had three shots in total, two touches in the box, and 15 passes in the final third; winning four of his six duels including two dribbles and a free-kick apiece. Gem.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:27A fiery, end-to-end first half comes to an end at Portman Road, with Ipswich deservedly level at 1-1 with a new-look Manchester United at the break! Ruben Amorim couldn't have dreamed of a better start, with Rashford heading home the first goal of his time in charge after just 81 seconds, but having produced just 0.40 xG, United remain level with chances for Eriksen, Garnacho, Dalot and Amad going astray. The Tractor Boys, meanwhile, have been excellent, producing 0.82 and testing Onana through Szmodics, Hutchinson and Delap's efforts before Hutchinson popped up again to curl a beauty of a strike into the top corner! It's all to play for in the second half, but it's the hosts who look more likely to come away with three points as things stand.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:21HALF-TIME: IPSWICH TOWN 1-1 MANCHESTER UNITED.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:21Manchester United have now conceded five league goals in the last 15 minutes of their first halves this season, behind only Ipswich and Southampton's six, and that's something Amorim will need to address if he's to be a success at Old Trafford.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:19We're into three minutes of added time at the end of the first half, although it's likely more will be played due to Evans picking up a head knock.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:19SAVED!!! Amad cuts inside to shoot from the edge of the box, but his left-footed curler doesn't have the accuracy of Hutchinson's and is easily saved by Muric!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:15Assist Wesley James Burns
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:14Goal Omari Elijah Giraud-Hutchinson
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:14OVER!!! Cajuste is played into shooting space by Morsy and lets fly from 25 yards, but his effort is always rising as it sails over the top!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:14WHAT A STOP!!! Somehow the visitors remain in front!!! Szmodics is played in behind the defence and cuts inside from the left to tee up Delap, but his first-time finish from right in front is somehow parried away by Onana with the goal at his mercy!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:12SAVED!!! Dalot is picked out on the run by a huge ball over the top from Casemiro, bringing it down and lashing a left-footed strike into Muric's gloves!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:10A fire alarm at Stockley Park has been reported to the referee, his assistants, both managers and captains alike, meaning that for the time being, this game is operating with no VAR intervention possible!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:08A promising Ipswich attack breaks down and Garnacho looks to race clear on the counter-attack, but Tuanzebe keeps pace with his fellow United academy product, getting goal-side of the Argentine to win possession back!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:07Davis has pulled up with an injury off the ball, and goes down requiring treatment in what will be a worrying development for Kieran McKenna.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:05BLOCKED!!! 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!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:03Eriksen 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.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:01SAVED!!!! Hutchinson steps up to take the free-kick for Ipswich, curling a decent effort beyond the wall but straight into the gloves of Onana!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
17:01A 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
16:58Manchester 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.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:57Good 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
16:55Manchester 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.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:52Play 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.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:50WIDE!!!! Garnacho and Fernandes play a one-two on the edge of the box, but upon getting the return ball, Garnacho can't quite pick out the far corner with a first-time shot which curls wide!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:50Cajuste loses out to Eriksen in midfield and then clips Casemiro late trying to get the ball back, with a challenge that the Swede is lucky to avoid a yellow card for!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:48Amad finds space to run down the right edge once again, but his scooped return ball into Garnacho is cut out by Burgess.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:45Rashford's opener after just 81 seconds is United's quickest in the Premier League since February, when Rasmus Hojlund netted against Luton Town after just 37!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:43SAVED!!! Burns is released down the right flank and picks out Szmodics arriving on the edge of the box. The Irish international looks to find the bottom corner, but Onana dives across to parry the ball away!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:42Ipswich have lost four of their last five Premier League games against United, failing to score in each defeat, though this is their first such meeting since a 1-0 home loss back in April 2002.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:41OVER! Burns fires a low ball into the box for Szmodics to strike, but he has more time than he realises before sending a snap-shot miles over the bar!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:39WIDE!!! Fernandes finds space on the edge of the Ipswich box and tees up Eriksen to his left, who drills a first-time shot well wide of the left post!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:39Davis threatens to swing in a cross from the left-hand side, but Amad is back in cover for the visitors and makes the block to give Ipswich a corner.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:37It's United's fastest goal of the season by some distance, and the 14th first-half strike Ipswich have conceded in their 12 games so far this season, more than any other Premier League team.

16:33Hutchinson kicks the game off for Ipswich, as we get up and running at Portman Road!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:31The visitors are the heavy favourites in our live win probability tracker, despite just six places separating the two in the table. Manchester United sit on a 55.4% chance of victory as the teams head out onto the Portman Road pitch, but hosts Ipswich on a 21.7% probability will be keen to turn that back into their favour!
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:28Ruben Amorim’s first Red Devils lineup sees three changes made from Van Nistelrooy’s win over Leicester, with Jonny Evans, Christian Eriksen and Alejandro Garnacho all coming in to a new-look 3-4-2-1 setup. Manuel Ugarte, Rasmus Hojlund and the injured Lisandro Martinez drop out, as Marcus Rashford leads the line in attack.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:22Kieran McKenna makes a solitary change from Town’s 2-1 win over Tottenham last time out, with Wes Burns replacing the injured Ben Johnson on the right wing. He’s ahead of former Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe, who slots in at right-back.

16:12The Ruben Amorim era begins at Manchester United after his highly-anticipated arrival from Sporting CP during the international break. The Red Devils beat Leicester City 3-0 in Ruud van Nistelrooy’s last game in interim charge, giving Amorim a perfect platform to build on.
Ipswich Town vs Manchester United
16:07After picking up their first win of the season – and first Premier League victory since 2002 – at Tottenham last time out, the Tractor Boys will be in buoyant mood, facing a Manchester United side who are an unknown quantity at the moment and keen to continue their upturn in form.
