Updates from this 2pm BST KO at Portman RoadPremier League table | Top scorers | Email Niall
On a different timeline, where a handful of this season’s Premier League results were reversed, this is a massive game in both the title race and relegation battle. Sadly, in this universe, Ipswich – despite being the best of the three promoted sides this term – are 14 points from safety and doomed to a swift Championship return.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are the league’s second-best team – 13 points behind leaders Liverpool. Champions League glory is undoubtedly their focus now, rather than keeping a lukewarm title race ticking over. If they lose here, the party could start at Anfield this afternoon. In the more likely event of an Arsenal win, Ipswich will need snookers to beat the drop.
