Watford v Arsenal Betting Tips: Hornets to compound Arsenal woe?

Preview and odds ahead of Premier League tie

The final match of this Premier League weekend comes from Vicarage Road as Watford host Arsenal.

Will this be another bitter away day for Unai Emery’s men? Or can Arsenal put down a statement of their top-four ambitions?

Catch all the action from 8:00pm on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event.

Head-to-Head

Arsenal have bagged the three points in the last two meetings – but crucially they’ve been at the Emirates Stadium.

Watford scored a famous win over the North Londoners in the last meeting at Vicarage Road. A 90th-minute strike from Tom Cleverley earned the Hornets a 2-1 victory.

The last time Watford won at the Emirates was another 2-1 triumph in the FA Cup 6th Round. A goal apiece from Odion Ighalo and Adlene Guedioura saw Arsenal off.

Likely XIs

Watford: Foster; Femenia, Mariappa, Cathcart, Holebas; Hughes, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyra; Deulofeu, Deeney

Arsenal: Leno; Monreal, Koscielny, Mustafi; Kolasinac, Maitland Niles, Guendouzi, Torreira; Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Lacazette

Emery may shuffle his pack with a trip to Naples in the Europa League on the horizon. But he could retain the 3-4-2-1 formation that has served him so well this season.

Sokratis’ suspension should mean Shkodran Mustafi takes his place in defence.
