PL: Ipswich Town v Arsenal

Doors open at 8a.

​Fresh off a commanding 2-1 second-leg victory over Real Madrid– sealing a 5-1 aggregate triumph and securing their first Champions League semi-final berth since 2009– Arsenal must swiftly refocus on domestic duties. With Liverpool poised to clinch the Premier League title, the Gunners' immediate objective is to solidify their hold on second place, fending off Nottingham Forest and a surging Newcastle United. Upcoming fixtures against Ipswich Town and Bournemouth present crucial opportunities to amass points. Mikel Arteta is expected to persist with strategic squad rotation to maintain player fitness ahead of the semi-final clash with Paris Saint-Germain. In the reverse fixture during the festive season, Arsenal secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Ipswich, underscoring the need for focus against determined opposition.​

While Ipswich Town's mathematical survival remains possible, their 14-point deficit from safety renders relegation a near certainty. However, the Tractor Boys have demonstrated resilience, recently holding Chelsea to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge. Arsenal must guard against complacency following their European success. Ipswich, playing for pride, will aim to challenge the Gunners. They will be without captain Sam Morsy due to suspension, and key players Chiedozie Ogbene, George Hirst, and Axel Tuanzebe remain sidelined. Nonetheless, the return of top scorer Liam Delap bolsters their attacking options.

While Portman Road may not be as sexy an address as the Bernabeu, this match still matters. Start your Sunday with the best supporters in Boston!
