On Sunday afternoon at Portman Road in the Premier League table, the fates of both sides are already somewhat determined, and both Ipswich Town and Arsenal are looking to delay the inevitable outcome of this match for a while.


Arsenal, who put on a remarkable performance at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in the midweek, are full of confidence in going all out and being the first to lift the UEFA Champions League trophy. In the past few Champions League seasons, both Manchester City and Chelsea have been defeated by the fascinating comebacks of the team in white jerseys. However, the Bernabéu factor of Real Madrid was powerless in the face of the collective strength of Arsenal. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli emulated Thierry Henry from 19 years ago.


Arsenal have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2009 and will face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals. Although their hopes of winning the championship are slim, Arsenal cannot take their eyes off domestic competitions for now, and their hopes of winning the title could be officially dashed at Portman Road. After the memorable draw with Brentford last weekend, if Mikel Arteta's team loses and Liverpool beats Leicester City, they will be out of the title race. It is understandable that they are worried, as Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest are only 4 points and 6 points behind respectively. However, before the Easter Sunday game, two streaks of 10 consecutive wins have put Arsenal in a favorable position. Not only have they remained unbeaten in their last 10 games in all competitions, but they have also won 10 consecutive Premier League games against the bottom three teams on the day.



With only 6 games left, Ipswich Town are 14 points behind West Ham United (who will play Southampton this weekend) and Wolverhampton Wanderers (who will play Manchester United). If they lose to Arsenal and both of their relegation rivals win, Kieran McKenna's team will be relegated to the EFL Championship in the 2025-26 season. McKenna's team at least put a lot of pressure on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in December, but the Gunners beat Ipswich Town by a single goal, extending their unbeaten record against Ipswich Town in the Premier League to 11 games. The "Tractor Boys" have faced Arsenal more times in matches but have never won.


Possible starting lineup for Ipswich Town:

Palmer; Tuanzebe, O'Shea, Burgess, Davies; Morsy, Cullen; Johnson, Enciso, Clarke; Delap


Possible starting lineup for Arsenal:

Raya; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Tierney; Ødegaard, Zinchenko, Rice; Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard
