00:00The teams at the Etihad. For the first time in 86 Premier League matches, Pep has named an unchanged side.
00:06Ederson missed the run-in last season, when Josco Cavadio scored five goals in the final ten Premier League games.
00:14There's still no Rodri, but Mateo Kovacic sealed that opening day win at his former club, Chelsea.
00:21Savinio is OK to start after going off at half-time at Stamford Bridge,
00:25where Erling Harder marked his 100th game for City with his 91st goal.
00:31PFA Player of the Year Phil Foden misses out through illness,
00:35but Ilkay Gundogan is on the bench on his Manchester City homecoming.
00:42Kieran McKenna makes three changes from the Liverpool game.
00:45Aro Muric makes his Ipswich debut against his former club.
00:50Jacob Greaves had a decent debut last week after joining from Hull.
00:55Ben Johnson comes into the side, and he has Premier League experience with West Ham.
01:00There's a start, too, for Sami Smodic, who scored 33 goals for Blackburn last season.
01:06Liam Dillap left Manchester City for Ipswich just last month.
01:12Jens Kajusta, on loan from Napoli, is on the bench.
01:15Calvin Phillips is on loan from City, who obviously can't play today.
01:20It's really humble to watch how they keep doing it every single week.
01:26Ipswich actually won on their last two visits to Manchester City,
01:30but that was at Main Road a fair old time ago, a different era now.
01:41Kaku...
01:43Confronted by Ben Johnson.
01:46An early opening goal!
01:49Well, he recovered there.
01:51Muric off it slithered away, and it looked like Tottenham was about to poke it in.
01:57De Bruyne up, Morsi able to turn that away.
02:05Marnie Hutchinson, who made a permanent move from Chelsea
02:08after a successful loan last season, and suddenly there's a big opening!
02:13And Sami Smodic is going in!
02:16Despite the efforts of Ederson,
02:19Sami Smodic can do it in the Premier League as well.
02:24Ipswich have shocked and startled the champions they lead at the Etihad.
02:32They can, they countered really quickly, defended in numbers.
02:36Hutchinson gets into good position, he thought he ran out of it.
02:39We just see lower down in the picture, this run late inside Rico Lewis,
02:43very clever, times it exceptionally well,
02:46and then he has to wait, and he just nudges it,
02:49and then agonising wait under Ederson,
02:52off he goes to the corner, he'll take it however it comes.
02:59It was an agonising wait to watch it trickle over that line.
03:0733 goals for Bladburn Rovers last season.
03:12He's up and running on his first Premier League start,
03:16as they seek to recover from that.
03:20Savino nudged by Davies.
03:25And the verdict is Gokic.
03:33Oh, just a test out of late change from a referee,
03:36he thought about giving something, is there any contact on the line
03:40when we get another look?
03:42People are asking questions, as he steps across.
03:47He didn't do anything wrong.
03:51The officials are double-checking this to be sure there is enough contact.
03:59Here we go.
04:00Oh.
04:07Mauro Umaric, who is in the academy here,
04:12may look an imposing sight,
04:14but Haaland may look the same for him.
04:18It's Haaland!
04:20It's 1-1, of course it is,
04:23and he is starting the season exactly as everyone thought he might.
04:30He just waits, stays upright, guides it with pace,
04:34and that's the point, accuracy as the goalkeeper just falls away.
04:39But is anyone better in those positions than him, I'm not so sure.
04:48Umaric's always got himself into a horrible mess here!
04:52And Kevin De Bruyne pounces!
04:56You cannot hang about, you cannot dither against these teams,
05:01they will punish you just like that.
05:05It's 150 club goals now for De Bruyne,
05:10it's a very quick turnaround.
05:13He just waits too long, Savino, essential,
05:16and then in those positions it's a simple one-left footer for De Bruyne,
05:20rolling it in, but that's your own downfall,
05:23you can't get caught at this level doing this.
05:26It's a horrible moment for Umaric against his former club,
05:38Haaland could have slid it in, De Bruyne did.
05:42You can control the situation, but belief will drop
05:45when it happens like it just has for Bripswich Town.
05:48Haaland did as well, he can score again!
05:53This is just amazing!
06:00Things can change quickly in football,
06:03especially when you have the nerve to take the lead at the empty hat.
06:08A remarkable response from Erling Haaland and from Manchester City.
06:15Wow, you make the runs and this guy, De Bruyne,
06:20knows where he's at, the touch is brilliant,
06:24and in this position here now, people would just lash that across,
06:28he doesn't, he just waits, the side footer into the empty net,
06:32makes it look easy, but this is a really, really top finish.
06:36Ice cold.
06:42It gets better, more and more we see it.
06:45There were only 17 minutes in, by the way,
06:48and it's 3-1 to Manchester City.
06:56Four goals in just under nine minutes at the empty hat.
07:03Tucker, he'll get a latch on to this,
07:05ooh, almost a challenge by Transiby.
07:08Rico Lewis somehow plays that against the crossbar.
07:12Plays that against the crossbar when the goal was gaping.
07:18Bernardo Silva links up with Lewis, though.
07:24And Smodic.
07:27Kovacic.
07:30De Bruyne!
07:32And he's hit the bar as well!
07:34This is absolutely astonishing.
07:36Rico Lewis moments ago, and now Kevin De Bruyne.
07:41Taking on Lewis here.
07:44He ran into bother and a quick wave away from the referee.
07:49These are the problems when you're going at pace,
07:51it's just here, Savino comes across,
07:53Rico Lewis has got him.
07:55It's just as he steps inside here, left leg.
08:00Perfectly picks out De Bruyne.
08:02Is there time for one before half-time?
08:05Doku thinks so!
08:07And Haaland puts it wide.
08:11Kanji.
08:15De Bruyne.
08:17Bernardo Silva's got to that.
08:20It's into the side netting, it's going to be a corner though.
08:24Here comes his corner, defended by Dillap.
08:28De Bruyne onto it.
08:30Clipped in, Haaland!
08:32It's a magnificent save for Norwich,
08:35with a hat-trick, begging once more for Erling Haaland.
08:41Kevin De Bruyne.
08:44Flag stays down for now.
08:46De Bruyne moving in, Haaland is waiting,
08:49Transebi stopped it,
08:51and then the flag does go up eventually anyway.
09:00Haaland.
09:01Suddenly received it!
09:05Just like that.
09:08Just too hot to handle.
09:11A fabulous finish from Erling Haaland,
09:15his tenth Manchester City hat-trick,
09:18and the champions are in the groove,
09:22in their stride, from the off.
09:25Once he gets into position, takes a touch,
09:27you're thinking he's not going to shoot from there,
09:29I think he catches Muriel because he does it so early,
09:32he does it quickly, it's just one touch,
09:34and then the power shot near post,
09:37as he sneaks it in,
09:39it just keeps getting better,
09:41his Manchester City record and career,
09:44thoroughly well deserved.
09:50The 23rd hat-trick of his career,
09:55and he's only 24.
10:00Time is almost up.
10:02I think it's a wonderful start for Pep Guardiola
10:06and Manchester City, winners at Chelsea last week.
10:09The whirlwind of early goals after Kieran McKenna's
10:12Ipswich took a shot lead through Sami Smodic,
10:16Erling Haaland responded with a penalty,
10:19and he wasn't finished there, going on to complete yet another hat-trick.
10:23A mistake from Muric also allowed Kevin De Bruyne to score,
10:26he was exceptional as well,
10:28but then so were most for Manchester City.
10:31Especially Haaland, hat-trick hero again.
10:35It ends at the Etihad,
10:37Manchester City 4, Ipswich Town 1.
