Watford vs. Arsenal
Venue: Vicarage Road
Kick off: 5:30PM
Watford play host to Arsenal on Saturday evening knowing that three points against the Gunners will move them above their opponents in the Premier League table.
Arsenal are yet to win on the road in the top flight this season, but success at Vicarage Road would extend their recent run to four victories from five top-flight games.
While Huddersfield Town and Burnley have generally been regarded as the surprise of the Premier League so far, Watford have exceeded expectations since the arrival of new head coach Marco Silva.
The Hornets lost their way at the back end of last season but under the Portuguese, three wins and three draws have been recorded from seven top-flight fixtures.
Over the years, Arsene Wenger has made a habit of lifting Arsenal after a poor run of form and it was a similar occurrence before the international break with the win over Brighton & Hove Albion taking their current unbeaten streak to seven games.
The Gunners are still suffering from back-to-back defeats to Stoke City and Liverpool, but Wenger has at least started to find solutions.
Watford possible XI: Gomes, Femenia, Mariappa, Kabasele, Holebas, Doucoure, Capoue, Cleverly, Pereyra, Richarlison, Deeney.
Arsenal possible XI: Cech, Holding, Koscielny, Monreal, Bellerin, Xhaka, Ramsey, Kolasinac, Iwobi, Sanchez, Lacazette.
