Ipswich v Arsenal LIVE: Premier League team news and updates

Mikel Arteta may well rotate his Arsenal side as the Champions League remains the priority, though he has hinted that the Premier League will need to be a renewed focus given the form of teams below them.

Either way, Jorginho remains absent and while Riccardo Calafiori is moving closer to a return, he will not be fit to feature here.

Predicted Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Tierney; Zinchenko, Rice, Odegaard; Saka, Trossard, Sterling.

Jaden Philogene appears likely to miss the remainder of the season after suffering a knee injury against Chelsea last weekend.

Kalvin Phillips and Omari Hutchinson remain out, while Liam Delap will be assessed as he continues to recover from a rib injury.

Predicted Ipswich XI: Palmer; Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste; Johnson, Enciso, Clarke; Delap.

Ipswich vs Arsenal is due to kick off at 2pm BST on Sunday 20 April at Portman Road.

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage on the channels from 1pm BST. Subscribers can stream the action via Sky Go.

Ipswich’s Premier League status is safe for another week though relegation looms as they welcome Arsenal to Portman Road.

West Ham’s draw against Southampton on Saturday leaves them 15 points ahead of Kieran McKenna’s side with five games to come after this clash, just about keeping Ipswich alive.

It could be a decisive weekend at the top of the table, though – if Arsenal are shocked here, Liverpool would secure the title if they beat Leicester later.

After the emotional high of Champions League success over Real Madrid in midweek, Mikel Arteta’s side could yet be caught off-guard.
