Ipswich Town vs Arsenal: Live Premier League goals & updates

Arsenal travels to face Ipswich Town at Portman Road in the 33rd Premier League game of the season. The Gunners understand that their best efforts are required more so in the Champions League than the English top flight, considering it's only a matter of time before Liverpool are crowned champions.

However, the Gunners will not want to let it slip in the Premier League, either. Even if it's only to keep the winning momentum and confidence high for the semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain, league matches remain important for Mikel Arteta.

The Tractor Boys, on the other hand, are at the other end of the Premier League table. They are beginning to accept that relegation might be on the cards, but it still remains in their interest to fight to the death.

Kieran McKenna has a young side, much like Arsenal, and it is quite remarkable that they're even in the top flight after back-to-back promotions. Given some of the performances they've put in this campaign, it might not be long before they're back.

Let's jump into the game, where we will providing live updates as and when they happen.
