Comments and predictions for Arsenal vs Ipswich: 3 easy points

Latest Arsenal vs Ipswich squad information

Arsenal's win over Crystal Palace came at a cost when Bukayo Saka picked up a hamstring injury in the first half. Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed Saka will be out for "a number of weeks", with the possibility of missing up to two months.

Arsenal are also without Raheem Sterling due to a knee injury, along with defenders Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu, but they are in line for a return from a muscle injury with Oleksandr Zinchenko.

At Selhurst Park, Martinelli replaced Saka on the right, but the in-form Gabriel Jesus could be Saka’s main replacement in the coming weeks. The return of Declan Rice could push Kai Havertz further forward.

Ipswich are also without a key player through suspension, with captain Sam Morsy set to miss out after picking up five yellow cards. Manager Kieran McKenna is expected to bring in Kalvin Phillips to replace Morsy. Striker Liam Delap could start in place of Conor Chaplin after his suspension ends.

Former Arsenal player Omari Hutchinson could continue to start despite being substituted recently. Ipswich will continue to be without Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles), Janoi Donacien (fitness), George Hirst (knee) and Axel Tuanzebe (thigh).

Latest football commentary Arsenal vs Ipswich

British sports reporters had a good time calling him Gabriel Jesus on Saturday night, although some of the jokes seemed more appropriate for Easter. However, Jesus' impressive form – five goals in just two games – has made him something of a "rebirth".

After a hat-trick to send Arsenal into the EFL Cup semi-finals against Crystal Palace, Jesus continued his scoring streak with a brace at Selhurst Park. Declan Rice, Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz also contributed to the 5-1 win that put Arsenal into the record books. It was the sixth time in 2024 that Arsenal have scored at least five goals away from home, a feat no Premier League side has achieved in a calendar year.

With this victory, Arsenal closed the gap on Chelsea. Although the race for the top spot with Liverpool in 2025 will not be easy, Arsenal have regained their scoring form after stalemates against Fulham and Everton. The team is now unbeaten in 10 consecutive matches in all competitions.

In addition, with Brentford losing 2-0 to Nottingham Forest, Arsenal are the only Premier League team yet to lose at home this season. Arsenal have kept clean sheets in their last three home games at the Emirates – against Forest, Everton and Manchester United.

Ipswich Town, the only team yet to win a home game this season, lost 4-0 to Newcastle United at Portman Road. Alexander Isak scored a hat-trick, and Jacob Murphy added another, leaving Ipswich just the sixth team in Premier League history to fail to win after nine home games – the previous four were all relegated.

Ipswich are currently second from bottom, but just two points behind Leicester City, who are in 17th place. A surprise win over Arsenal at the Emirates could lift Ipswich out of the relegation zone. However, they have only scored in two away games this season, and their last visit to the Emirates – in the 2010-11 EFL Cup semi-final – ended in a 3-0 defeat.
