Arsenal
The Gunners have suffered a huge injury blow with Mikel Arteta confirming on Monday that Bukayo Saka is out for "many weeks" after tearing his hamstring at Selhurst Park. The winger could be out of action until March.
Raheem Sterling, who could've mitigated Saka's absence, is currently absent due to a knee injury which is set to rule him out for several weeks.
On a brighter note, Riccardo Calafiori came off the bench at the weekend after another spell out and could return to the XI on Friday. Oleksandr Zinchenko may also return to the matchday squad.
Declan Rice impressed off the bench on Saturday and is a sure bet to come into Arteta's starting lineup.
Arsenal predicted lineup vs Ipswich (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Merino, Odegaard; Martinelli, Havertz, Jesus.
Ipswich
Captain Sam Morsy misses out on Friday after picking up his fifth booking of the season against Newcastle on Saturday. Kalvin Phillips should come into McKenna's midfield pivot and partner Jens Cajuste.
Ipswich are currently without George Hirst, Axel Tuanzebe and Chiedozie Ogbene due to long-term injury setbacks, but Cieran Slicker is closing in on a return from a muscle injury.
Liam Delap is back from his suspension and will come in for Conor Chaplin up top.
Ipswich predicted lineup vs Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Muric; Clarke, O'Shea, Burgess, Davis; Phillips, Cajuste; Burns, Hutchinson, Szmodics; Delap.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Ipswich
