The match between Ipswich Town and Arsenal, scheduled for April 20, 2025, at Portman Road, presents a compelling narrative of contrasting fortunes in English football. Ipswich finds itself on the brink of relegation and has struggled significantly this season, recently enduring a six-game losing streak at home . Meanwhile, Arsenal arrives buoyed by their recent Champions League success but will field a rotated squad due to injuries affecting key players such as Kai Havertz and Jorginho . This context sets the stage for an intriguing encounter.
The Gunners enter the contest off the back of completing their Champions League masterpiece in Madrid. A 2-1 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu saw Mikel Arteta's side ease into the semi-finals of the competition, where a scintillating Paris Saint-Germain await.
Arsenal's sole focus lies with their continental campaign, but Arteta has several domestic outings to navigate before Luis Enrique's in-form outfit visit the Emirates at the end of April.
Ipswich Town possible starting lineup: Palmer; Tuanzebe, O'Shea, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste; Johnson, Enciso, Clarke; Delap
Arsenal possible starting lineup: Raya; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Tierney; Odegaard, Zinchenko, Rice; Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard
Liam Delap has been crucial to anything good the Tractor Boys have done this season and it is expected that his £30 million relegation release clause will be activated this summer.
But Ipswich scored twice even in his absence against Chelsea, so punters should not be too put off by the star man's recent absence due to a rib injury.
Delap could be in line for a return in this game but either way Ipswich should ask questions of the Arsenal defence.
Live streaming options for this match are extensive. Fans in the UK can access the game through platforms such as Sky Go and NOW TV, while viewers in the United States can watch via Peacock . Canadian audiences have access through fuboTV and DAZN . As both teams prepare to take the pitch under pressure—Ipswich to avoid relegation and Arsenal to maintain momentum—the tactical approaches will be pivotal. Ipswich's likely formation is a 4-2-3-1 with Liam Delap leading their attack .
