Mikel Arteta 'really worried' about Bukayo Saka's injury blow
Arsenal host Ipswich at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League tonight, with the hosts looking to keep up the chase behind Liverpool during a busy winter period.
The Gunners went into Christmas six points behind the leaders, though Liverpool’s game in hand means that it already looked like a mountain to climb to get level with the Merseysiders.
And Arne Slot’s side ensured that they did not slip up against Leicester last night, coming from behind to win 3-1 and keep distance between them and the rest.
Add to that the news of Bukayo Saka’s hamstring injury and the size of the task will certainly not be lost on Mikel Arteta and his squad. Tonight, they face an Ipswich side languishing in the relegation spots, with Wolves’ strong start under Vitor Pereira plunging their Premier League future deeper into doubt. A shock away win here would be a huge boost, though, as Kieran McKenna continues to navigate his first campaign as a top flight manager.
