Title challengers Arsenal welcome promoted team Ipswich Town for a Premier League clash this Friday.

Mikel Arteta’s men romped to a 5-1 win over Crystal Palace in their last league outing. The Gunners are currently sitting fourth in the league table, but have a game in hand over second-placed Chelsea and in-form Nottingham Forest, who are third.

Ipswich, meanwhile, are in the relegation zone with only two wins from 17 matches. They went down 0-4 to Newcastle United in their previous Premier League game.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Arsenal vs. Ipswich lineups, team news

Arsenal’s festive joy was marred by the loss of Bukayo Saka to a hamstring injury, sidelining him for a few weeks. Adding to Arteta’s woes, Raheem Sterling, Ben White, and Takehiro Tomiyasu also remain out, though Oleksandr Zinchenko could return.

Gabriel Jesus looks set to take Saka’s spot up front, with Martinelli likely shifting back to his usual left-wing role. Declan Rice‘s expected return to midfield could see Kai Havertz pushed into a more attacking position.

Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Raya (GK) — Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori — Odegaard, Rice, Merino — Jesus, Havertz, Trossard.

Injured: Saka, Sterling, White, Tomiyasu
Suspended: None

Ipswich are without their captain Sam Morsy due to suspension, paving the way for Kalvin Phillips to slot into midfield. Liam Delap is back from his ban and could replace Conor Chaplin as the focal point in attack.

While the injury list includes Chiedozie Ogbene and Axel Tuanzebe, Omari Hutchinson should keep his spot. The former Arsenal academy star will look to make an impact against his old club.

Ipswich predicted XI (4-2-3-1 right to left): Muric (GK) — Johnson, O’Shea, Greaves, Davis — Cajuste, Phillips — Hutchinson, Szmodics, Clarke — Delap.

Injured: Ogbene, Tuanzebe, Greaves
Suspended: Morsy

Arsenal vs. Ipswich prediction

Even a Saka-less Arsenal should not have any problems picking the Ipswich lock. So, we can expect the Gunners making light work of their visitors, with another clean sheet.

• Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Ipswich
