Arsenal welcome Ipswich Town at their Emirates Stadium in the closing match of the Premier League round 18. The Gunners aim to build on a thrilling 5-1 win over Crystal Palace and they are seen as hot favourites to win this festive fixture. Bukayo Saka should be fit for Thursday’s clash despite limping off with injury against Palace, while both Benjamin White and Tomiyasu Takehiro remain in the recovery room. 

The Lions, on the other hand, struggled defensively in a 4-0 loss to Ipswich Town and given Arsenal’s signs of improvement, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. In their last meeting at Emirates Stadium, back in 2011, Arsenal defeated Ipswich 3-0 in the EFL Cup and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Liam Delap is back from suspension, while Sam Morsey serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, speaking of the visiting team.
