Arsenal v Watford betting tips: Ranieri plots to end Gunners jinx

Such has been the turnover at Watford that the Hornets’ last five away wins in the Premier League have come under different managers: Javier Gracia, Quique Flores, Nigel Pearson, Xisco and Claudio Ranieri. They are 13/2 to win at the Emirates.

This will be Ranieri’s fourth game in charge of Watford and he is looking for a second win, but he has never beaten the Gunners in 11 previous attempts (D4 L7), losing all five games away.

Draws are rare between these two. There have been just two stalemates in the last 32 meetings and the draw is available at odds of 18/5.

Arsenal v Watford head-to-head

Arsenal have won 11 of their 14 Premier League meetings with Watford (D1 L2), scoring at least once every single time they’ve faced the Hornets in the competition.

Watford have lost six of their seven away Premier League games against Arsenal, with the exception being a 2-1 victory in January 2017.

Watford are on a run of five without a win over Arsenal. Their longest run without a win was six games between September 1999 and October 2015 (all defeats). Watford are 15/8 to win or draw the game on the Double Chance market.

Both sides scored in seven of the last 12 meetings and both teams to find the net this time can be backed in Arsenal v Watford betting tips at 4/5.

Arsenal v Watford key battles

Watford must be prepared not to sit so deep in the first period. They have conceded a league-high 10 goals in the first half of their 10 Premier League games and they face a Gunners side that have scored the bulk of their goals in the first period (nine of 12). It is 15/4 that Arsenal lead by more than one goal at the break.

Watford must also be wary of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has netted six goals in his five appearances against the Hornets. He scored twice in both meetings in the 2019-20 campaign and is 19/20 to score at any time and 9/2 to score two or more.
