Intro
Arsenal will be looking to end 2024 with all three points and send a reminder to Liverpool that they are not out of this Premier League title race just yet. They take on an Ipswich Town side who have only twice since they gained promotion last season.
Are The Gunners Genuine Title Contenders?
Arsenal have missed out on the Premier League title for the past two years as they failed when it mattered the most.
The Gunners have been Man City’s biggest challengers in recent years, but ultimately the pressure got to them and they could not get over that final hurdle.
This year could be a bit different, because they have not been touted as a main favourite with Liverpool leading the way with 39 points and Chelsea in second place with 35 points. The Gunners are two points behind the Blues.
This could be a blessing in disguise because Mikel Arteta’s men can go about their business and let the top two get all the headlines and pressure. You never know, they could sneak up on the outside later in the season.
Arsenal have not tasted defeat in the league since they went down 1-0 away at Newcastle United in November. They are unbeaten in seven matches thanks to four wins and three draws.
Bukayo Saka went off in the win against Crystal Palace with a hamstring injury and it is unsure how long he will be on the sidelines. Raheem Sterling, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White are all set to miss the festive period.
Tractor Boys Already Looked Doom
It’s not great to write teams off with five months left in the season, but here at Betting.co.uk, we think Ipswich Town will not be good enough to remain in the Premier League.
The Tractor Boys have only won two matches this season, against Wolves and Tottenham Hotspur. Many people thought that a win over Spurs would kickstart their season, but it hasn’t really happened.
Ipswich have won one and lost four of their last five Premier League matches and they have only scored three goals in those matches, conceding nine.
Former Wigan Athletic and Middlesbrough midfielder Sam Morsy will miss the trip to the Emirates Stadium through suspension following five bookings.
Janoi Donacien will miss this game with an ankle problem, while George Hirst, Axel Tuanzebe and Chiedozie Ogbene remain on the sidelines with lengthy injuries.
Head To Head
These two teams have only met 54 times in all competitions with Arsenal winning 28 and the Tractor Boys being victorious on 16 occasions.
Arsenal have beaten Ipswich Town 15 times in London, while the struggling side have only won six matches away from home against the Gunners.
Their last meeting was a two-legged affair in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. Ipswich won the first leg 1-0 at Portman Road, before the Gunners booked their place at Wembley with a convincing 3-0 success in the second leg.
Arsenal have not lost in the league against Ipswich since 1984 when Town won 2-1 on home soil. They last won in London in 1979 when the Gunners played at Highbury.

Our Betting Tip for Today
Surprises happen in football and maybe sometimes a Christmas miracle, but Ipswich will need more than a miracle to take anything back to East Anglia.
Arsenal are well known for slipping up against teams they are expected to win, but even the Gunners should have no problem collecting three points on home soil against a team that has only won twice all season.
The Gunners are firm favourites at 1/10 with
LeoVegas. Ipswich are a massive 20/1 to win the match. The draw - which would be a massive result for Ipswich - is on offer at 8/1.
Jesus To Shine Over Christmas And Punish Ipswich
Multiple Premier League title winner Gabriel Jesus has not had the best of times since joining Arsenal. His time has been marred by poor form and injuries, but he finally looks back to his best.
Up until his hat-trick against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup on December 14, the Brazilian international had not found the back of the net for Arsenal since he scored against Preston in the same competition. That was a run of 10 matches without a goal.
He backed that treble up with a brace against Palace again four days later as Arsenal won 5-1 in the Premier League.
We are backing Jesus to have a massive impact in this game. If Jesus is happy and playing well, that can only mean good things for the Gunners.
We backing the Gunners to claim all three points, Jesus scoring at least two goals and no in the both teams to score market. This is available at 17/2 with LeoVegas.
