Arsenal vs Ipswich preview

In-form Arsenal welcome wobbling Ipswich Town to the Emirates for Friday’s Premier League showdown.

And Mikel Arteta’s side will be confident of securing maximum points following successive victories over Crystal Palace, scoring eight goals in the space of four days.

The Gunners are now unbeaten in their last ten matches in all competitions (W7, D3) and boast a formidable home record with eight wins and no losses from their 10 competitive matches – including six clean sheets.

Arsenal are back to being 3/1 second-favourites for the title ahead of Chelsea following their goalless draw at Everton, but every game is now must-win with Liverpool six points ahead of them having played a game less.

It will be a daunting trip for struggling Ipswich Town, especially now that Arsenal clicked back into gear offensively.

The Gunners have scored 5+ goals in six different away games in all competitions in 2024, the most ever by an English top-flight club in a single calendar year.

Ipswich, meanwhile, appear to be heading in the opposite direction following Saturday’s 4-0 thumping to Newcastle at Portman Road.

Still the only side in the Premier League without a home win, The Tractor Boys are stranded in 18th position with four losses in their last five matches.

A crumb of comfort for Kieran McKenna’s side is that Arsenal talisman Bukayo Saka looks set for a spell on the sidelines, although they still managed four of their last seven goals without him on the pitch.

Arsenal vs Ipswich preview betting tips and predictions

Goals to flow

Arsenal should be capable of scoring a handful when Ipswich Town visit. As mentioned, the Gunners are back in the goalscoring groove – especially at home where they’ve netted 2+ goals in 10 of their 13 competitive games.

Only Brentford and Tottenham can better Arsenal’s tally of 17 top-flight goals at home, while only Leicester have conceded more than Ipswich Town on their travels (16). McKenna’s side have also shipped 4+ goals away own three occasions this season.

Assist

Declan Rice looks an interesting price at 19/5 to provide an assist against Ipswich Town. The England international, 25, has provided five assists in 21 appearances this season with his latest arriving against Crystal Palace over the weekend.

Rice, who has taken 48 league corners this season, may well take set-pieces from the other side with Bukayo Saka absent. He’s also created 24 chances for his colleagues in 15 appearances with Saka Arsenal’s only player to have created more – including Martin Odegaard.

Rice has the 13th highest xA (expected assists) of any player in the Premier League.
