Ipswich vs Arsenal preview as Ipswich are all but confirmed in their relegation as they sit 14 points behind West Ham and Wolves, with only 18 points up for grabs for every team. Their win over Bournemouth was their only one of 2025. Having drawn with Chelsea last week, Ipswich will aim to pick up as many points as they can to flex their Premier League credentials, hoping to drop down to the Championship and come straight back up. 

Arsenal will be flying high off the back of their 2-1 win at the Bernabeu to progress to the Champions League semi-final for the first time since 2009. Arsenal are undefeated in all competitions in the last 10 games. With Arsenal’s focus drifting to the Champions League, this game holds a strange significance as a defeat to Ipswich would open the door for Liverpool to win the league title later in the same afternoon.
