Well done to Ipswich for their start. It took them 11 games to get the first win under Kieran McKenna the last time they were in the Premier League and they've got off to a great start already.

Under Gary O'Neil they have got a bit about them - they've got players who can get them up the pitch, they have got pace with Daizen Maeda and Emersonn looks a bit of a handful.

I think they could cause United one or two problems but it's unthinkable that Manchester United could lose their opening two games of the season. Their start was an absolute stinker - they were very flat against Hull.

With respect, it was an open goal start for the season for them, with Hull then Ipswich - two promoted sides - and it would be bordering on catastrophic for Michael Carrick if they lose again.

I remember the days when United used to beat Ipswich 9-0 but I don't think it will be nine and I think Ipswich will score. I think Ipswich will score first but United will come from behind to win - panic over, Carrick's the king again.

Sutton's prediction: 2-1
