Arteta anticipating a tough test at Portman Road

The novelty of a visit to Portman Road won’t have worn off for Arsenal supporters heading to Suffolk for Sunday’s encounter with The Tractor Boys.

We haven’t played there since a 1-0 defeat in the League Cup in 2011, and we’ll be looking for our first win at the ground since 2002.

Turning attention back to Premier League football following Wednesday’s thrilling UEFA Champions League success in Madrid, our manager said it hasn’t been difficult to adjust his focus.

“Quite easy, just review the Madrid game and immediately go to Ipswich and start to do all the preparation, start to watch the games, the games we play against them and what we learn over the last few months since we've played them,” he said in his pre-match press conference on Friday.
