Ipswich Town vs Arsenal Preview

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Sunday, 20 April
• Kick-Off Time: 06:30 PM IST
• Venue: Portman Road

The Ipswich Town vs Arsenal match will be played on Sunday at Portman Road. The 18th-placed team will host the 2nd-placed team in the Premier League.

Ipswich Town will continue their battle for Premier League survival when they take on Arsenal. The Tractor Boys host Arsenal as overwhelming underdogs, but fans can rest assured that they will chase down whatever slim hopes there are of coming away with a win. Even though McKenna has said in the press conference that they will get relegated no matter what happens, surely his boys will not let the fans down. In the last five games between these teams, Ipswich has only beaten the Gunners once. This season, only Arsenal won the game by 1-0 at the Emirates, and surely Ipswich will be looking to create an upset.

The Gunners once again are on the losing end in the Premier League, and their dream of winning the league is fading. Despite being consistent and having a good squad, Arteta has failed to take his team to Glory. Despite all these, the club management fully trusts the Spaniard to lead the Gunners, and surely they will look to finish the season with as many points as possible. They did face some difficulty last time out when they locked horns against Ipswich, but this time out, they are very confident, and surely they will look to get three points away from home. This will be a mouthwatering clash.

Key Players to Watch in Ipswich Town vs Arsenal

Julio Enciso (Ipswich Town)

Enciso has yet to be defined by one single role or position. He is an attacker with some very impressive strengths as well as some notable weaknesses. He is a player who can play on the wings, as an attacking midfielder, and also as a centre-forward. Enciso is very fast, and when combined with some intelligent movement, makes him a very lethal player on the pitch.

Thanks to his technical quality, he also poses a big threat between the opposition's backline and midfield line, just outside the penalty area. Overall, he is a hardworking player who does his job very well on the pitch. This season, he has played eight games, in which he has scored once and provided three assists.

Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal)

Whether it is knitting moves together by shifting the ball with one or two touches, coping with pressure applied by opponents inside his half, or picking out the occasional incisive pass, Lewis-Skelly is a reliable player in possession. He is now a regular starter for the Gunners and has impressed everyone with his quality on the pitch. Even in competitions like the Champions League, he has shown how good he is and competed against the best teams and players.

He is so good on the ball that he can also play in midfield, and under the Guidance of Arteta, he is growing at a rapid pace. This season, he has played 29 games, in which he scored once and provided one assist, and has received four yellow cards and two red cards.

Ipswich Town vs Arsenal Prediction

Quality-wise, the Gunners are a much better team and, despite being the away side, are the favourites to win this fixture. Ipswich has struggled this season a lot, but they haven't compromised their style of play at all. Despite being in the relegation zone, they will be a tough team to beat at home. This will be an exciting clash for sure. Most probably, the away team will win this match.

Predicted Score: Ipswich Town 1-3 Arsenal
