Arsenal will be aiming to keep their Premier League title push on track on Friday when they host Ipswich at the Emirates.
The Gunners sparked back into life in the previous round of matches, with Gabriel Jesus netting twice in a 5-1 win over Crystal Palace. However, the win came at a cost for Arsenal, as Bukayo Saka is set for a spell on the sidelines after limping off.
Ipswich fell to a heavy defeat at home to Newcastle last weekend, but both of their two wins in the Premier League this season have been achieved on the road.
