Match Preview

Watford Vs Arsenal Match Preview & Injury Updates

The Arsenal squad will on Monday face Watford at the Vicarage Road stadium and they will be hoping to return home with all the three points.

Arsenal will tomorrow face Watford at Vicarage Road and they will be hoping to get all the three points because a win would see them go into the fourth position on the Premier League table since Chelsea failed to defeat Liverpool.

Both of these clubs come into this match after having an incredible performance in their previous game i.e. Watford beating Wolverhampton to progress into the FA Cup finals while Arsenal also defeated Napoli who are one of the favourites to win this year’s UEFA Europa League. The gunners will be desperate to win this match because they wasted a chance to go into the third position last Sunday when they lost 1-0 to Everton, so the Arsenal players will not want to slip up again.

Arsenal wants to go back into the UEFA Champions League and they have two ways of making it happen, winning the UEFA Europa League which earns you an automatic qualification to next season’s UCL and getting a top four finish. The match against Watford will reveal what Unai Emery is thinking because he will probably have to put his main attention to one of the two competitions.

The Arsenal fans will be hoping that Unai Emery uses a full strength squad because they are not sure if they will win this season’s UEFA Europa League. So getting a top four finish would be great since anything can happen during their UEFA Europa League journey.

TEAM NEWS

Arsenal has released its latest team news ahead of this match and they confirmed that Granit Xhaka is still a doubt for this game despite having begun training with his teammates. The good news for Arsenal is that Lucas Torreira is now available for selection after his red card in the North London Derby has ended after missing three Premier League matches.

Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding and Danny Welbeck will not take part in this match because they are still recovering from their surgeries.

Watford made an incredible come back in the semi finals against Wolverhampton and their left back José Holebas got injured hence getting ruled out of their encounter against Arsenal. Domingos Quina also got injured in training.
