The Gunners completed a stunning 5-1 aggregate win over Madrid by triumphing 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday to progress to the semi-finals, in which they will face Paris Saint-Germain.

Ipswich lineup vs Arsenal

Ipswich make one change at centre-back, replacing Cameron Burgess with Jacob Greaves.

Jaden Philogene is expected to miss the remainder of the season because of a knee issue.

Omari Hutchinson (knee) and Kalvin Phillips (Achilles) remain sidelined while Liam Delap (rib) is set to have a rib injury assessed ahead of his latest audition for his several potential transfer window suitors.

Ipswich are on the cusp of their relegation to the Championship being confirmed, trailing Wolves by 14 points.

Arsenal lineup vs Ipswich Town

Arsenal make three changes, rotating their full-backs by bringing in Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko for Jurrien Timber and Myles Lewis-Skelly either side of William Saliba and Jakob Kiwior.

Leandro Trossard also starts in place of Thomas Partey, so Mikel Merino – newly reployed as a forward this season – is likely to revert to his usual central midfield role.

Defender Kieran Tierney will make his 100th Premier League appearance if he comes off the bench. Jorginho (chest) and Riccardo Calafiori (knee) are still unavailable.

Arsenal are 13 points behind Liverpool with six games to play, and defeat at Portman Road may spell the end of the title race.

Indeed, if Arsenal lose to relegation-threatened Ipswich and Liverpool subsequently beat Leicester City, then Arne Slot’s side will be champions.
