Team analysis: Arsenal
Arsenal are in excellent form and come into this match with five consecutive wins, including an impressive 5-1 win against Crystal Palace, where Gabriel Jesus excelled with two goals. This team has found its rhythm again and has become a serious contender in the battle for the top of the Premier League. Arsenal are the only team in the Premier League to remain unbeaten at home this season, with their last three matches at the Emirates ending in clean sheets and without conceding any goals (against Forest, Everton and Manchester United).
However, the problem for Arteta is the injury to Bukaya Saka who will be out for several weeks with a hamstring injury. In his absence, Martinelli could take his place on the right, while Gabriel Jesus will be the most likely candidate to take charge in attack. The return of Oleksandr Zinchenko from injury could be important for Arsenal in the defensive line. Apart from him, Arteta will rely on solid performances from Rice, Havertz, and Trossard, and all the scoring will likely come through attacking actions and quick transition. Arsenal are extremely strong in attack, but their defense can be under pressure at times, especially without Saka, who is key to the balance between attack and defence.
Team analysis: Ipswich Town
Ipswich are currently bottom of the Premier League, which must be a huge disappointment for a team that had ambitions to fight for survival. After eight consecutive home defeats, Ipswich became only the sixth team in Premier League history to fail to win their first nine home games. They are currently in penultimate place and have only 12 points, two less than safe positions. Although they are aiming for a recovery, it is very likely that they will find it difficult to cope with Arsenal at the Emirates.
Ipswich have recorded some solid performances on the road so far, but they scored just one goal in their last defeat against Newcastle (3-0). Without key player captain Sam Morsy (due to booking), McKenna will be forced to look for an alternative in midfield, and Calvin Phillips could get a chance in the starting line-up. In attack, new signing Liam Delap could replace Conor Chaplin as the most advanced striker. Ipswich won’t have many options to surprise, but they still remain dangerous on the counter-attack. The team must focus on discipline in defense, but considering the weakness in attack, Arsenal is the favorite in this duel.
Betting suggestion: Over 3.5 goals in the match
Considering Arsenal’s current form, scoring 5 goals in their last match against Crystal Palace and showing a high level of efficiency, and constant attacking power with players like Gabriel Jesus, Martinelli, and Havertz, it is very likely that this team will continue with the high number of goals scored. Arsenal are an attack-oriented team, especially at home, and tend to score more than 3 goals in many matches.
On the other hand, Ipswich, although struggling in the Premier League, have some ability to create chances, especially through counter-attacks. Although their attack is weaker, Arsenal’s more relaxed approach may give them chances to score at least one goal.
