Arsenal are back in Premier League on Sunday afternoon as they take on Ipswich Town at Portman Road.
The Gunners will undeniably carry a swagger with them to East Anglia this weekend off the back of a 2-1 win at the Santiago Bernabeu which sealed an emphatic 5-1 aggregate victory in the Champions League quarter-finals over Real Madrid.
Mikel Arteta's side were outstanding across the two legs, and they'll now face Paris Saint-Germain with a spot in the final at stake.
The remainder of their Premier League season has been reduced to insignificance with Liverpool closing in on the league title. Their lead increased to 13 points last weekend after Brentford earned a 1-1 draw at the Emirates and Virgil van Dijk struck late on to down West Ham.
Ipswich are just about still alive in the fight for survival, but they're now 14 points adrift of safety with six games to play. Kieran McKenna's side earned a point at Stamford Bridge last season but have found wins to come by on their return to the top-flight. Their 2-1 win at Bournemouth earlier this month was just their fourth of the league campaign.
Here's our preview of Ipswich vs Arsenal in the Premier League.

Ipswich team news
Several of Ipswich's protagonists this season could miss out on Sunday. Omari Hutchinson and Kalvin Phillips are both doubts due to knocks, while Sammie Szmodics is nursing an ankle injury.
Chiedozie Ogbene is unlikely to play again this season due to a long-term Achilles setback, and Jaden Philogene, who joined the club in January, sits out after sustaining a knee injury at Chelsea last week. Wes Bruns will return later this year after tearing his ACL.
Liam Delap is available for the hosts, and he's the man Arsenal will have to contain if they're to ease to victory at Portmand Road. The Ipswich forward has garnered plenty of attention from Premier League clubs and will surely remain in the division next season and beyond.
Predicted Ipswich lineup vs Arsenal: Palmer; Tuanzebe, O'Shea, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Cajuste; Johnson, Enciso, Clarke; Delap.
Arsenal team news
Arteta supplied plenty of injury updates in his pre-match presser on Friday. The boss suggested that Kai Havertz will return "earlier than expected" from hamstring surgery but still faces a few more weeks on the sidelines, while Riccardo Calafiori is hopeful of returning in time for the Champions League semi-final with PSG.
Jorginho's rib injury keeps him out of action this weekend; Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are missing for the rest of the season.
There should be respite for Gabriel Martinelli and Jurrien Timber after their midweek heroics, with Leandro Trossard and Ben White likely to come into Arteta's side.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Ipswich: Raya; White, Saliba, Kiwior, Tierney; Partey, Rice, Nwaneri; Saka, Trossard, Sterling.
Ipswich vs Arsenal prediction
Arsenal aren't playing for all that much, and Ipswich won't give up on survival despite the inevitability of their relegation.
Portman Road simply hasn't been a tricky enough ground for Premier League teams to visit this season, and although Arteta will rotate on Sunday, a confident Gunners outfit should stroll to three points.
