I will be writing a match report after the game this evening. Hopefully Ipswich will be unsuccessful in their attempts to 'park the tractor'. Expect Arsenal to dominate the ball and Ipswich to defend deep in their half and very narrowly but I would not be surprised (especially given their success in the last game) to see Ipswich use long, direct balls to try and exploit Arsenal's high defensive line.
The key for Arsenal is to remain patient and not become too fixated on getting an early goal as conceding an away goal could potentially see a very frustrating evening for the Emirates' faithful. Another key issue, should they get in front, is to remain focused and not become complacent. A repeat of the equivalent fixture this time four years ago (when Wigan scored a crucial away goal in the last minute of extra time) would be unacceptable to fans who have waited too long for a trophy.
