Ipswich Town Preview & Form
Ipswich Town is putting up a good performance in their chances of survival. However, the Tractor Boys now look destined to join already-relegated Southampton in making an immediate return to the Championship next term following their defeat last weekend. Kieran McKenna’s men managed to hold Chelsea to a 2-2 draw last weekend at Stamford Bridge. The Tractor Boys went 2-0 up before halftime at Stamford Bridge thanks to strikes from Julio Enciso and Ben Johnson, but Chelsea fought back with second-half goals from Jadon Sancho and an Axel Tuanzebe own goal. They have now only managed just one in the Premier League since the start of the New Year. One major disaster they have faced since arriving in the top flight this season is keeping clean sheets, with nine of their last ten Premier League games producing both teams scoring.
Kieran McKenna’s team has struggled significantly on their home patch, as they are currently riding on a six-game Premier League losing streak, with two or more goals conceded in each of the games. All season, they have only managed one win at Portman Road, which was a 2-0 victory over Chelsea in late December. Matchday guide.
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal will head back to Premier League games on the back of an unforgettable midweek Champions League night after advancing to the last four of the Champions League for the first time in 16 years with a convincing 5-1 aggregate win against the reigning European champions, Real Madrid. On Wednesday night, Mikel Arteta’s team secured a well-deserved 2-1 win at the Bernabeu as Carlo Ancelotti’s side never looked like overturning the 3-0 deficit from the first leg in London last week. The Gunners are riding on a six-match unbeaten run in the Premier League following a disappointing 1-1 draw against Brentford at the Emirates. Last weekend's result opened up a 13-point gap between the Gunners and Liverpool with six games left.
Mikel Arteta's side has remained undefeated in their last four Premier League away games, though they secured just one victory during this stretch.
