Arsenal travel to Portman Road, where they will face relegation battlers Ipswich Town. The Gunners will be keeping one eye on the Champions League and the other eye on at least keeping second place, with Newcastle United’s recent climb up the Premier League table. Here is our Arsenal predicted lineup vs Ipswich Town.<\/p>\n
After rotating their starting eleven against Brentford, Mikel Arteta picked a more familiar-looking team in his side’s 2-1 win against Real Madrid last time out.<\/p>\n
In goal was David Raya, making his 47th appearance of the season.<\/p>\n
The back four was Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Jakub Kiwior and Myles Lewis-Skelly.<\/p>\n
Declan Rice partnered Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard in midfield.<\/p>\n
The goals came from two of Arsenal’s front three. Bukayo Saka scored the first and Gabriel Martinelli grabbed another at the death. Both goals were assisted by Mikel Merino, who played up top again for the Gunners.<\/p>\n

But they may wish to experiment with tactics and find a solution to the Thomas Partey problem. The midfielder is suspended for the semi-final first leg after picking up a third Champions League booking.<\/p>\n Ipswich have just one win and one draw in their last six Premier League matches. It is still mathematically possible for the Tractor Boys to stay up, and they will no doubt put up a stern fight to close the gap on West Ham.<\/p>\n But even with a second-string eleven, Arsenal should be more than capable of picking up a win even away from home.<\/p>\n Arteta said<\/a> in a pre-match press conference: “We know how tough it’s going to be. They are a really well-organised team. What Kieran McKenna and the staff have done is remarkable and you see every week how they perform and the amount of issues they give to opposition. So we expect a tough game.”<\/p>\n Mikel Arteta gave three updates on his squad heading into the Ipswich fixture, including news on two of Arsenal’s longer-term injuries.<\/p>\nArsenal Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n
