On the right edge of the penalty area, Gabriel Martinelli dribbles his way to the baseline. He flanks the leather into the box as smoothly as butter. However, Luke Woolfenden clears the cross with his head into the goal. There is the first corner of the game.

Ipswich Town have only managed one win in their last five games against Wolverhampton Wanderers (2-1). The remaining games were lost. Most recently clearly with a 4-0 defeat against Newcastle United. Coach Kieran McKenna responded to this with five changes to the starting eleven. Harry Clarke, Wes Burns Conor Chaplin (all bench), Sam Morsy (suspended) and Cameron Burgess (not in the squad) make way for Luke Woolfenden, Ben Johnson, Jacob Greaves, Kalvin Phillips and Liam Delap.

The home team has been unbeaten for seven games with four wins and three draws. Most recently, Mikel Arteta’s team defeated Crystal Palace twice. First with 3-2 in the quarter-finals of the League Cup. Last weekend 5-1 in the league. In comparison, there are two changes. Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard start for Thomas Partey (bench) and Bukayo Saka (hamstring injury).

Arsenal FC goes into this game fourth in the table. But after Chelsea FC’s surprising defeat against Fulham FC (1:2), Arsenal could climb to second place with a win. On the other hand, newly promoted Ipswich Town are fighting for every point in the relegation battle. With only three points behind the saving bank, staying in the league is still within reach.

Hello and welcome to the end of matchday 18 in the Premier League. Arsenal FC welcomes Ipswich Town at the Emirates Stadium. Have fun!
