Preview
Watford head into this after a goalless draw against Manchester United in their previous EPL clash last week.
This was an essential point for the Hornets as any point at this point is worth gold due to their league position. However, they remain in the dreaded regelation zone with 19 points in 19th place.
With just 1 win from their last 5 matches, their performances have been far below their own expectations.
On the other hand, Arsenal made it a hat-trick of league wins with a 2-1 success over Wolves last time out.

Hwang broke the deadlock for the visitors before late strikes from Pepe and Sa (og) ensured a comeback win for the Gunners.
Arsenal is in 6th place with 45 points and are poised to enter the top 4 if they continue their winning run.
It’s been happy few weeks for Arsenal in the league as they seem to have got their mojo back.
The last time these two sides met in the EPL, where Arsenal won 1-0 at home.

Arsenal possible 11:
Ramsdale, Tierney, Gabriel, White, Soares, Partey, Xhaka, Rowe, Ødegaard, Saka and Lacazette
Prediction: Watford 1-3 Arsenal
The Gunners are on a winning run and we see them winning this one as well due to it and the quality they have in their ranks.
Watford look lethargic and devoid of ideas, which leaves them a lot to do against a quality opponent.
Players to watch out for: Dennis, King, Xhaka and Rowe.
