Ipswich vs Arsenal Bet Builder Tips, Preview

Liam Delap has been Ipswich’s standout player this season, scoring goals on a regular basis in what has been a very tough season for the Tractor Boys.

Physicality plays a huge role in Delap’s style of play with the Ipswich striker loving to press the opposition defence, putting in plenty of tackles and challenges that often breach the rules. Delap has committed 63 fouls in his 31 Premier League appearances, which makes for an average of 2.03 fouls per game.

The former Man City striker, who has 8 yellow cards to his name, has lost 12 of the 14 tackles he has attempted against opposition players dribbling with the ball, so you can see why we’ve backed Delap to commit 2+ fouls on Sunday.

Bukayo Saka is back from injury and is already starring for the Gunners once again. The England international has 16 goal involvements in 19 Premier League appearances this season and he also wins a lot of free kicks for his team in dangerous positions.

Saka has been fouled 34 times this season, which makes for an average of 1.78 fouls drawn per game, and it’s clear to see why the 23-year-old is a target for opposition challenges.

The Arsenal winger has put in 106 crosses and has had 37 successful take-ons in his limited time on the pitch this season, making him the Gunners’ key dangerman in the final third and someone the opposition are forced to foul in order to stop.

Despite missing so much of the campaign through injury, Saka still remains Arsenal’s joint-second highest goal scorer in the Premier League this season with 6 goals.

Saka has managed to have an impressive 50 shots in just 19 appearances so far this season, that’s an average of 3.29 shots per 90 minutes. The Arsenal winger certainly isn’t shy when it comes to taking shots as soon as the opportunity arises and while his accuracy (36%) could do with some improvement, Saka remains Arsenal’s biggest threat in the final third.

The Gunners’ star managed to have 2 shots against both Everton and Brentford in his last two Premier League appearances and we’re expecting the winger to up that total against an Ipswich side that have one of the worst defensive records in the division.

Ipswich striker Liam Delap has attracted a lot of interest from other Premier League clubs after scoring 12 times in 31 league games this season.

Delap has had more shots (59) than any other Ipswich Town player this season and is averaging 2.27 shots per 90 minutes in England’s top-flight. The 22-year-old has managed to hit the target 27 times and his shots on target ratio stands at an impressive 45.8%.

The Ipswich star has taken 10 shots in his last 5 league games, an average of 2 shots per game, and we’re backing the striker to take 2+ shots against the Gunners this weekend which is on point with his recent form.
