Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Arsenal

Arsenal are built to dominate the ball. They should have most of the possession at Emirates Stadium and keep Ipswich pinned in their own half for long spells.

Away · promoted

Ipswich Town

As a promoted club, Ipswich will focus on keeping it tight on their trip to Emirates Stadium. Their best chances tend to come from corners, free kicks and quick breaks.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

  • If Arsenal name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.

  • If Ipswich score first

    The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.
