Arsenal return to Premier League action against Ipswich at Portman Road on Easter Sunday after booking their place in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) semi-finals in midweek.
Indeed, the Gunners recorded a famous 2-1 win against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, knocking the record holders out 5-1 on aggregate. Europe has been a welcome distraction for Arsenal as they have recorded successive 1-1 draws in the Premier League to Everton and Brentford respectively.
That leaves them 13 points behind leaders Liverpool in second, and a defeat to Ipswich followed by a Liverpool win at Leicester would secure the Reds the title. Nonetheless, Mikel Arteta's main focus is now on the UCL, which could see them rotate in the league once again to keep their players fresh.
Ipswich will officially be relegated if they do not beat Arsenal and Wolves and West Ham beat Manchester United and Southampton respectively. Their fate has been sealed for a while now, and the Tractor Boys are just playing for pride.
An impressive 2-2 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last time out was the fourth point they have won from nine available in the last three matches. Arsenal have won five of the last six H2Hs to nil though, which does not offer Ipswich too much hope of an upset.
How the bookies view it: Arsenal odds-on favourites
As expected based on their respective positions in the table, Arsenal are 2/5 odds-on favourites with BoyleSports to take home all three points. A draw is 7/2 with the same bookmaker, while an Ipswich victory is as high as 13/2.
Recent head-to-head: Kai clinches victory
Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the game as Arsenal won 1-0 in the reverse fixture at the Emirates Stadium. Unfortunately, the German is injured and will play no part at Portman Road.
Players to watch: Sterling to get rare chance?
Julio Enciso and Ben Johnson scored and assisted against Chelsea, and will need to be at their best for Ipswich to get anything out of the game.
Raheem Sterling may get a rare chance from the start after not featuring in Arsenal's last couple of matches.
Predicted lineups
Jaden Philogene has sustained an injury which unfortunately means he will miss the rest of the season for Ipswich, as he joins a number of players on the treatment table.
Jorginho and Riccardo Calafiori remain injured for Arsenal alongside the longer term absentees. The Gunners could rotate once more in the league.
Ipswich: Palmer, Tuanzebe, O'Shea, Burgess, Davis, Morsy, Cajuste, Johnson, Enciso, Hutchinson, Delap.
Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Kiwior, Tierney, Partey, Odegaard, Zinchenko, Nwaneri, Trossard, Sterling.
Anything else catch the eye?
As mentioned, Arsenal have won five of the last six H2Hs to nil. BoyleSports are offering a generous 5/4 for them to repeat the trick. The Gunners may find it hard to break Ipswich down initially though, and a price boost of 10/3 from the same bookmaker for a Draw/Arsenal HT/FT projection could be a worthy punt.
The Gunners are one of the best from set pieces, and Ipswich may need to rely on them as a source for goals. Over 10.5 total corners at 21/20 with BoyleSports looks a good shout.
