Arsenal vs Ipswich Town: Premier League preview, team news, stats & head-to-head

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 13 league games against Ipswich (W10 D3), since a 2-1 away loss in September 1984.

Ipswich are winless in their last 11 away league games against Arsenal (D4 L7), losing the last four in a row. Their last such victory was in August 1979 (2-0 under Bobby Robson).

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 41 Premier League home games against promoted sides (W36 D5), winning the last 12 in a row. Only Chelsea (43 between 2001 and 2015) have had a longer such run in the competition’s history.

Arsenal have won their final league game in three of the last four calendar years, though the exception was a 2-1 defeat at Fulham on New Year’s Eve last year. This is the first time their final league game of a year has come at home since 2019, a 2-1 loss to Chelsea in Mikel Arteta’s first game in charge at the Emirates.

Arsenal have scored 5+ goals in seven different Premier League games in 2024 – the last team to do so in more top-flight games in a single calendar year were Burnley (9 in 1960), while the last time the Gunners did so was in 1931 (8).

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 11 Premier League home games (W8 D3), and are the only side without a home defeat so far this term (W5 D3). The Gunners are looking to keep four consecutive home clean sheets in the league for the first time since November/December 2021.

Ipswich have won two of their last three Premier League away games, having been winless in 12 on the road in the top-flight before this. However, the Tractor Boys are winless in their last 17 Premier League games against sides in the top four of the table (D3 L14), since a 1-0 win against Liverpool at Anfield in January 1995.

Arsenal have had more different goalscorers than any other side in the Premier League this season (14), with Gabriel Jesus and Declan Rice netting their first goals of the campaign last time out against Crystal Palace.

Only Manchester City’s Premier League games have seen more goals scored in the opening 15 minutes (13 – F6 A7) than Ipswich’s so far this season (12 – F5 A7).

Gabriel Jesus has scored five goals in his last two games for Arsenal in all competitions, as many as he had in his previous 45. No player has scored multiple goals in three consecutive appearances for the Gunners (all comps) in the Premier League era.
