Arsenal will be hoping to keep their slim Premier League title hopes alive when they travel to Portman Road to face Ipswich Town on Sunday 20th April at 2pm. The Gunners are still mathematically in the title race, though time is running out. Time is also running out on Ipswich’s stay in the Premier League, with this a must win in their relegation battle. This game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Premier League.
Arsenal have scored two goals or fewer in each of their last six Premier League away matches.
Arsenal have been shown a Premier League-high five red cards so far this season, while Ipswich are second with three.
Ipswich sealing a return to the Premier League was a big moment last summer, but it looks like their stay will be short-lived. The Tractor Boys are 12 points from safety with seven games left to play, while also trailing 17th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers significantly on goal difference. It was a home defeat to Wolves that opened up the 12-point gap, after Ipswich had recorded their first league win of 2025 against Bournemouth — in their first game of April.
Depending on whether the glass is half full or empty, Arsenal are either in or out of a title race. After 31 games, the Gunners are 11 points behind Liverpool, having gone on a run of three draws in five games — albeit winning the other two. While Arsenal won’t give up until it is over, the Gunners will also be looking to secure wins to ensure they don’t drop out of the top four. That does look unlikely, with Arsenal nine points ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea. But they’ll want to be certain.
Chiedozie Ogbene and Wes Burns are out for the season, while Sam Szmodics isn’t expected to return until the final weeks of the campaign. Arijanet Muric will also be a doubt.
Arsenal will hope to have Riccardo Calafiori available by the time this game comes around, but he will continue to be assessed. Gabriel, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu are all out for the season.
These two sides have met just once since 2011, with Arsenal beating Ipswich 1-0 back in December thanks to a Havertz strike.
