Ipswich Town will welcome Arsenal to Portman Road in the Premier League on Sunday. The hosts need a miracle to avoid relegation, as they trail 17th-placed West Ham United by 14 points, with just six games left to play. The Gunners find themselves in a bit of a similar situation, but at the other end of the table. They trail league leaders Liverpool by 13 points.
The Tractor Boys met Chelsea in their previous outing and were held to a 2-2 away draw. Goals from Julio Enciso and Ben Johnson helped them take a two-goal lead in the first half. An own goal from Axel Tuanzebe halved the deficit for Chelsea, and substitute Jadon Sancho pulled them level in the 79th minute.
The visitors met Brentford at home in the previous league outing and played a second consecutive 1-1 draw. Thomas Partey broke the deadlock in the 61st minute, and Yoane Wissa equalized for Brentford in the 74th minute.

Jaden Philogene, Kalvin Phillips, Arijanet Muric, Chiedozie Ogbene, Wes Burns, and Sam Szmodics are sidelined for this match. Omari Hutchinson is a major doubt and faces a late fitness test.
The Gunners have been in great touch recently and having eased past Real Madrid 5-1 on aggregate in the Champions League, they head into the match with great morale. They have won five of their last six meetings against the hosts while keeping clean sheets.
There is no team news update for Mikel Arteta as Gabriel Jesus, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kai Havertz, Riccardo Calafiori, and Gabriel Magalhães are sidelined for the trip to Suffolk. Jorginho was subbed with an injury against Brentford and is also expected to sit this one out.
The visitors have been the dominant side in this fixture and, considering Ipswich Town's recent home struggles, the Gunners are expected to register a win.
