Arsenal welcome Ipswich Town to the Emirates Stadium in tomorrow’s Premier League encounter.
The Gunners have found form with back-to-back wins against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup and Premier League.
They were brilliant last weekend as they picked up a convincing 5-1 victory at Selhurst Park.
Gabriel Jesus scored a first-half brace for the Gunners, and he should have bagged a second-straight hat-trick against Palace.
Meanwhile, Declan Rice was brilliant on his injury return. He put the game beyond doubt with a goal and an assist off the bench.
Aside from his goal contributions, the midfielder won 100 percent of his ground duels and completed 100 percent of his crosses.
He had a passing accuracy of 90 per cent. In our view, manager Mikel Arteta looks poised to start him against Ipswich tomorrow.
The England international, described as ‘outstanding‘ by Arteta in the past, has not been at his best this campaign amid minor injuries.
The manager has been cautious with his workload. We have noticed a few games where he has been substituted at the hour mark.
Rice looked a different player against Palace after a brief injury absence. He caught the eye with his forward runs and passing range.
He capped the performance with a brilliant goal from the edge of the Palace box.
With the fixtures coming thick and fast, rotation could be key to avoid potential injuries. Kai Havertz could make way for Rice to start on Friday night.
We anticipate Gabriel Martinelli will continue from the right wing. He was brilliant from the position after Bukayo Saka’s injury blow last weekend.
