Ipswich host Arsenal at Portman Road in the EFL Cup third round, with both sides arriving in good spirits. Ipswich beat Crystal Palace 3-2 last time out and have scored ten goals across their previous five competitive matches, but defensive issues remain a concern after conceding 11 over the same period.

Arsenal come into the tie in stronger form, having won all six of their competitive matches this season. Mikel Arteta’s side have also looked extremely solid defensively, conceding just once in their first four Premier League games and keeping four clean sheets across their last five competitive fixtures.

The main question is rotation. Arsenal face a demanding schedule and could rest several regular starters, which adds some uncertainty to what would otherwise look like a straightforward away-win angle.

Recent meetings also favour the Gunners. Arsenal beat Ipswich 1-0 and 4-0 in the 2024/25 Premier League season, although those results should not carry too much weight given changes to both squads.
