There’s no need to be overly dramatic. Title-chasing Arsenal may be nine points behind current leaders Liverpool, but both teams still have 21 matches to play, so nobody is in must-win territory yet. Having said that, Mikel Arteta’s side won’t feel too chipper about themselves if they don’t claim all three points this evening, coming off the back of a 5-1 win at Crystal Palace, and playing a team who have just been thumped 4-0 at home by Newcastle. Arsenal – who are unbeaten at home this season – are 7-1 on tonight, while you can get Ipswich – who haven’t won this fixture since 1979, the days of Arnold Muhren, Mick Mills and Bobby Robson – at 20s. So this looks a shoo-in. Then again, you never know in the Premier League, and Ipswich may be in fast-and-loose mode, viewing this game as a free hit in their quest to extricate themselves from relegation danger. We’ll find out soon enough. Kick-off is at 8.15pm GMT. It’s on!
