Ipswich Town vs Arsenal: Head-to-head record | OneFootball

Arsenal head to an Ipswich Town side that are facing right down the barrel of relegation on Sunday afternoon and will be looking to build on the positive record they boast against them.

Mikel Arteta is expected to rotate his side for the trip to Portman Road but that shouldn't stop them picking up a good result in East Anglia.

The Tractor Boys have enjoyed some good victories against the Gunners in the past but it is the latter who hold the upper hand in the head-to-head.

First meeting between Ipswich Town and Arsenal

These two sides met for the first time in the 1961-62 First Division season, the first of two encounters within three days in April.

There was no separating Arsenal and Ipswich as they played out a 2-2 draw at Portman Road. 1966 World Cup winner George Eastham got on the scoresheet for the Gunners with Johnny MacLeod also netting. The Tractor Boys went on to win the league title that season.

Last five meetings between Ipswich Town and Arsenal

Arsenal last played Ipswich in December of this season, securing a 1-0 win at Emirates Stadium thanks to a goal from Kai Havertz. There was nearly 13 years separating that and the previous encounter, a meeting in the League Cup semi-final.

Most famous meeting between Ipswich Town and Arsenal

The most famous encounter between Ipswich Town and Arsenal came in the 1978 FA Cup final where the former managed a 1-0 win in their first ever game at Wembley Stadium.

The Tractor Boys dominated the tie and won it late on through a Roger Osborne strike. It was just Ipswich's second major trophy win at the time and it came under the leadership of future England, Newcastle and Barcelona manager Bobby Robson.
