Ipswich Town have not enjoyed the best return to the Premier League as they sit second from bottom as we near the halfway point of the season.

Kieran McKenna's side have already secured one victory in North London this season, shocking Tottenham with a 2-1 win back in November. While Ipswich won't be the toughest opponents Arsenal will face this campaign, Mikel Arteta will have to ensure his side are on their A game when they walk out at the Emirates.
