Arsenal face Ipswich Town at Portman Road on matchday 33 of the Premier League season.
The Gunners will be eager to secure a win after the heroics at the Santiago Bernabeu in midweek.
Arsenal beat Real Madrid 5-1 on aggregate to book a spot in the Champions League semi-final, making the remaining Premier League action of the season take the back seat.
Still, there are points to play for, with the result at Portman Road set to be studied by Liverpool, who could win the title today.
If Arsenal lose to Ipswich and Liverpool beat Leicester City, the Reds will be crowned champions.
Mikel Arteta won’t go down without a fight, with three points against relegation candidates Ipswich undoubtedly on the manager’s mind.
Ahead of the clash, the Premier League announced who the match officials will be at Portman Road.
So, without further ado, here’s a look at the pick for the match officials in Ipswich vs Arsenal.
Who is the referee for Ipswich Town vs Arsenal?
It’s been confirmed that Chris Kavanagh will oversee Arsenal’s clash with Ipswich.
Kavanagh sent Declan Rice off in controversial circumstances back in September, putting him in Arsenal’s bad books.
There has been more anger directed at the official since then, as Kavanagh was slammed in Arsenal’s meeting with Chelsea for denying the Gunners a penalty for a clear handball.
The North Londoners will hope that Kavanagh is not the protagonist after 90 minutes at Portman Road.
Chris Kavanagh’s record against Arsenal
Arsenal’s win rate drops when Kavanagh is the referee, which is a narrative the Gunners will want to change against Ipswich.
This season, Kavanagh has overseen four of Arsenal’s Premier League games, and in that time, Arteta’s side have only won once.
| Matches | Wins | Draws | Losses | Yellows | Reds | Yellow/Reds |
| 23 | 11 | 7 | 5 | 47 | 1 | 1 |
