Arsenal vs Ipswich Prediction: The visitors will dominate.

The Premier League's festive season will conclude at the Emirates Stadium, where Arsenal – title contenders – will face Ipswich Town, who are struggling in the relegation battle, on Friday evening.

Arsenal, the home team, secured a resounding 5-1 victory against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park last weekend, bringing Christmas joy to their fans. Meanwhile, Ipswich Town suffered a heavy defeat, conceding four goals at home.

Latest Arsenal vs Ipswich team news

Arsenal's dominant victory over Crystal Palace came at a high price when star player Bukayo Saka suffered a hamstring injury in the first half. Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed Saka will be out for "several weeks," with reports suggesting he could be sidelined for up to two months.

Arsenal's attacking resources were further depleted when Raheem Sterling was also unavailable due to a knee injury, as were defenders Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu. However, the team received good news as Oleksandr Zinchenko could return after recovering from a muscle problem.

At Selhurst Park, Martinelli filled Saka's role on the right wing, but Gabriel Jesus – currently in excellent form – is likely to be the first-choice replacement for Saka in the coming weeks. At the same time, Declan Rice's expected return to midfield could push Kai Havertz further forward.

On Ipswich's side, they will also be without a key player for Friday's game, but due to suspension rather than injury. Captain Sam Morsy will be sidelined after accumulating five yellow cards.

Manager Kieran McKenna is expected to include Kalvin Phillips in the squad to replace Morsy. Meanwhile, young striker Liam Delap has completed his suspension and could start in place of Conor Chaplin in attack.

Former Arsenal academy player Omari Hutchinson is likely to retain his starting place despite being substituted midway through the last game. However, Ipswich will continue to be without Chiedozie Ogbene (Achilles tendon), Janoi Donacien (fitness), George Hirst (knee) and Axel Tuanzebe (thigh).

Latest Arsenal vs Ipswich football match prediction

Sports reporters across England had a field day playing word games about Gabriel Jesus on Saturday night, although some of the jokes seemed more appropriate for Easter. However, Jesus's dazzling form – with five goals in just two games – has made him seem "reborn".

After his hat-trick helped Arsenal reach the EFL Cup semi-finals against Crystal Palace, Jesus continued his dominance at Selhurst Park with an impressive brace. Not stopping there, Declan Rice, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz added Arsenal's name to the record books.

This 5-1 victory marks the sixth time in 2024 that Arsenal have scored at least five away goals – a feat no other Premier League team has ever achieved in a calendar year. Thanks to this win, Mikel Arteta's side have closed the gap on Chelsea.

Overtaking Liverpool for the top spot in 2025 won't be easy, but Arsenal seem to have rediscovered their scoring sharpness, particularly after frustrating matches against Fulham and Everton. The team is now unbeaten in 10 consecutive games across all competitions.

Furthermore, with Brentford losing 0-2 to Nottingham Forest last weekend, Arsenal are now the only team in the Premier League yet to lose at home in the 2024-25 season. Their last three home games at the Emirates against Forest, Everton, and Manchester United have all seen Arsenal keep clean sheets.

Meanwhile, Ipswich Town – the only team yet to win a home game this season – suffered a heavy defeat to Newcastle United at Portman Road. Star player Alexander Isak scored a hat-trick in 54 minutes, while Jacob Murphy contributed a first-half goal, making Ipswich the sixth team in Premier League history to fail to win their first nine home games of the season – four of the previous five teams were relegated.

Ipswich's situation is only slightly less dire than Southampton's, as they are currently second to last in the table. However, Kieran McKenna's side are only two points behind Leicester City – who are in safe 17th place.

A shock victory against Arsenal at the Emirates could lift Ipswich out of the relegation zone. In fact, eight of their 12 points this season have been earned away from home, including a win against Tottenham Hotspur – Arsenal's rivals – in November.

However, Ipswich have only scored in two away games this season, and their last visit to the Emirates – in the 2010-11 EFL Cup semi-final – ended in a 0-3 defeat, before Arsenal lost to Birmingham City in the final due to mistakes from Szczesny and Koscielny.
