Arsenal host Ipswich Town at the Emirates on Friday in the Premier League. The Gunnnrs are hird in the points table with 33 points from 17 matches.
After beating Crystal Palace 3-2 in the Carabao Cup last week, Mikel Arteta's men heaped further pain on the Eagles with a 5-1 win in the league. The entertaining contest saw four players get on the scoresheet for the Gunners, but an injury to star forward Bukayo Saka dampened the occasion.
Ipswich, meanwhile, have struggled on their return to the top flight. They were thrashed 4-0 by an in-form Newcastle United side last time out, conceding thrice in the first half as they fell to their heaviest home defeat since April 2018. The Tractor Boys are 19th in the standings with 12 points from 17 matches.
